Could be an insurance thing for an upcoming trade. Isn't Giordano 5'10"? lol

from what I remember watching him... he's basically another Giordano.
For 1 year, a solid "meh" move.

Why didn't we just claim him off waivers?

Perhaps the end of Butler as a Flame? One can only hope.

+13 last season isn't too bad I guess.
Edit: +12 for 2012, +6 for 2013.

Flames probably had Ference in mind, couldn't sign him, and now that Russell is no longer on waivers, had to give up a pick.

UFA next offseason. Probably could trade him at the deadline to recover the pick.

Maybe there wasn't a trade for Butler in the works at the time...

I like this signing. Still young, still has room for growth.

There must be a totally logical reason why we didn't pick him up on waivers, but what is it?

I don't really mind loading up on cheaply had, hopefully underappreciated potential bargain, yadayadayada... but the waivers thing has yet to be explained. If they didn't want him then, but want him now, maybe something just came up.

There must be some more moves coming. We have a lot of players right now.

Didn't want to pay the waiver fee, maybe? Though it's basically pocket change for a guy with 6 years in the league like he has.

As above, he wasn't plan A. He's plan B/C now, but wasn't on waivers anymore.
