Not to be a buzzkill, I'm totally psyched for this guy, but is there an example of Conroy not being excited about a prospect when he talks about them?

It's nice change when you see free agents wanting to play for the Flames. Players are obviously noticing what is going on in Calgary and feel they will be given a fair chance at making the team.

Adding a high quality prospect for the defence is something we really needed and the best part is we didn't have to give up anything to sign him. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Is there any possibility that he could play for the Flames this season or in the playoffs? I'm just curious how this contract works and why it wouldn't start until next season.

Couple more little little nuggets from the oylaz board.

that's the other thing. Morrison may be a righty, but he's still competing with Nurse, Marincin, Simpson, Laleggia, etc.

It's also looking somewhat likely we could end up with another high end D prospect from this upcoming draft.

Morrison wouldn't crack the roster with our depth. If he starts over Nurse, I'd be pissed, and I'm in the boat that feels that Nurse needs a year in the AHL.

Checking in to see how many CPers claim to be experts on this kid, and have followed his every move since PeeWee.

Leaving somewhat satisfied.

I imagine the sales pitch went like this:

Treliving: Our captain, Mark Giordano, was also an undrafted free agent. He's now an All-star and Norris calibre defenceman. The last college defenseman to sign in Edmonton was Justin Schultz. Who do you want to be?

Morrison: Where do I sign!

Should be leaving dissatisfied. Nobody here has claimed anything like that.

Decent trade to get Shore, great return for Glencross, and now a young Dman that sounds pretty impressive for free? Good Job Treliving, next up the draft! Impress us there too, please!

Upsides of not tanking. Players like to play for good teams.

Watched the glass shattering video... am I wrong in thinking he might benefit a lot from tutelage from Wideman? Or styles different? (I cant tell styles, sorry)

No. His NHL contract starts next season. He can play the rest of the season and playoffs in Adirondack.

Now I'll get excited

Of course I know nothing about this guy, but who cares. Free player in a position we're thin on prospects. Plus as said many times, it's nice to be a team that interests free agents.

Eventually a couple of expansion teams will be added which will nestle the Oilers into 16th.
