An honest energy guy, and really respect that. I also remember after MT fought Kassian and Kassian was skating off, Rinaldo stood up on the bench and said "I'm next" and Kassian became fascinated by his skate laces.

Hated him pre-Flames, but really liked him once he came here. Not in the "hate to play against him, but want him on my team" sense... just in the "hey he actually seems like a pretty good guy now that I'm exposed to not just his on-ice stuff" sense.

The Jackets are pretty deep on the wings. There's minimal chance that Rinaldo plays more than handful of games, unless they trade some of that wing depth for a C

Interchangable part.

Being good in the room, sticking up for teammates and being hard-working comes with the job description of these depth utility/enforcer types. You're not going to hire someone with out those traits.

He had good wheels for a guy at his end of the roster. That counts for something in the league. His size holds him back a little for his role. He's a middleweight at best.

May have been but he was a pretty terrible player on the ice.

I liked Zac and wished he'd have played more.

His GAF was off the charts each game he played, a trait that was in short supply last season.

On the wings, Columbus has:

Jakub Voracek
Patrik Laine
Oliver Bjorkstrand
Gustav Nyquist
Yegor Chinakhov
Boone Jenner
Eric Robinson
Liam Foudy
Nathan Gerbe
Emil Bemstrom

With Roslovic, Texier, Domi, Kuraly, Stenlund, and Gregory Hofmann down the middle.

I think it'll be pretty hard for Rinaldo to get a look.

I think the flames picked up some better skilled players that GAF which made him expendable. They should start filling out depth with younger players as well to show the AHL prospects that there is in fact oppurtunity within the organization.

The flames need more guys like rinaldo. But with more skill.

Think that’s what the plan is with Lewis and Coleman. Leadership, championship experience and show up to play hard.

Ya, we already have Ritchie who's an upgrade on Rinaldo.

CBJ has told Rinaldo he's not welcome at training camp.
