The Flames announced today that they have signed restricted free agent defenceman Connor Mackey to a two-year contract with a $912,500 AAV.

Mackey, a native of Tower Lakes, Illinois, was originally signed by the Flames on Mar. 20, 2020 after spending his college hockey career with Minnesota State University (NCAA). The 24-year-old blueliner made his NHL debut during the 2020-21 season and finished the campaign skating in 6 games, notching one goal, three points and 20 penalty minutes. Mackey also suited up in 27 games for the Stockton Heat (AHL) during the 2020-21 season, recording three goals and 13 assists for 16 points and 33 penalty minutes. The left-shot defenceman was named an AHL Canadian Division All-Star for the 2021 season and also made his Team USA debut at the 2021 World Championships capturing a bronze medal in Latvia.

I like that its two years. If he grabs a regular spot, it's cheap. If he doesn't, it costs us little in cap space.

Interesting that he's getting 125k more than Kyllington.

Good that it's two years. Is he an RFA or an UFA when the deal ends?

For good reason, Mackays going to play in the NHL while Kjillingtons still a fringe defenseman trying to "learn" defense.

This does bring a little bit of evidence that they see him as an NHLer.

6 games .... that is a minscule sample size to give a player a non league minimum multi year contract. Scouts must love him.

He gets the 2nd year because it means the Flames likely see him as a regular., and want to get a cheaper 2nd year.

I like this. This guy gives me a funny feeling like he's going to really be something special.
According to Cail Maclean he can be used in every situation.....which is awesome.
I like that he's ready to fight as well as we saw last year in back to back games.
Great news
