Awesome. Good deal for both player and team.

Well, this seems appropriate.

Assuming Valimaki is our #7, the Flames have $9.425M available in cap-space today and need to sign 3 forwards to get to 13F, 7D, 2G.

That's at the upper end of the range I was hoping for.

Happy it got done before arbitration, nobody wins in that circumstance.

Seems like a good number, he can prove himself if he wants a UFA payday.

Interesting that this doesn't buy any UFA years and he'll be a UFA when it's over.

Good deal. Was hoping for more term, but imagine Kylington is betting on himself.

Good deal. I’ve always been a fan of his. Really impressed with the step forward he took this season, hoping he has another gear this year too.

$2.5 mil is a steal for how he played in the regular season

Fair deal here - would have liked term and not to walk him to UFA, but at least his deal lines up with Hanifin, Zadorov, and Tanev, and they won't keep all 4 of these guys in the top 4 with Andersson and hopefully Weegar. So the 15.7M in these guys goes to keeping 2 of them and hopefully having depth come up through the system

Yeah don't love that it walks him right to UFA.

Would have preferred three years to buy at least one year of UFA.

But do get that the Flames might not love paying for one good year, and that Oliver would also like to bet on himself

I’m guessing his trade value wasn’t very high either. If the option is to trade him for not a lot give him a long term deal for double of this I’m ok with this.

Selling off players might negatively impact keeping Huberdeau and Weegar.
