Nice job Mr. Burke. Two year "show me" deal. If he continues to develop and earns big money we'll all be happy to pay him.

I am okay with this. Bridge contract was the only choice.

Solid signing. Three ufas left to auction at the deadline, butters cammalleri and stempniak. Resigning russell and stajan were solid moves, now let the rest go for young players and picks.

Love the term!!!!! Have to admit Russell's play has improved leaps and bounds from what i saw him do with the Blues. Glad they got him re-signed.

Now please trade Cammi!!!!

I could understand that response if we was signed for 5 years at $3.8M or something like that... but this signing is great.

Solid deal... about 500K and 1 year less then I thought he'd get.

Could not have been a better contract for both sides. Perfect money, perfect term.

I think Kris got shortchanged, but soooo glad he's with us for two more years! He's an incredible hockey player!

Good signing.

With offensive defensemen in Giordano, Brodie, and now Russell on board for at least a couple of years, Flames really need to find a way to offload Wideman and bring in a good top 4 shut down defenseman.
