$3.75M for one year? That strikes me as a bit high, but it's good to have this sorted.
This leaves the Flames with $7,650,000 in cap-space with the following players on the roster:
F: Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Monahan, Backlund, Lucic, Coleman, Lindholm, Mangiapane, Pitlick, Ritchie, Lewis
D: Hanifin, Andersson, Tanev, Zadarov, Kylington, Welinski
G: Markstrom, Vladar

I’m ok with low cap hit and low stakes term, if he gels well with Sutter and earns a more prominent spot on the depth chart we can sign him to a bigger contract then. Either way it shakes out we are bigger and harder to play against this upcoming season.

pretty bad contract but the Flames didn't have much leverage

I think that's a great number. Let's see what he can do. If he's steady, doesn't take too many Bennetts and contributes a little offense this is a positive.
Flat cap makes the numbers challenging.

Less dollars than I expected. Way less term. Is he still RFA after this one?
I suspect we will see some finishing touches on the roster soon.

A one year contract leading to UFA is interesting. Wonder if this is just to get things squared away, with further negotiations happening during the seasons.

Spend a 3rd for a season long rental I suppose.

glad it is less than $4M and glad it is less than 4 years
gladly take the risk of him going UFA instead of over committing $$ or term

if this walks him to UFA it is a bad contract. I guess he either gels with the team and they make him part of the core or worst case scenario he becomes a trade chip.
Maybe he's part of the return to get Eichel! only want to sign for 1 year, back to Buffalo!

Except he'll be a UFA. I was expecting either a 1 year contract or a 5 year contract.
It seems clear he wanted quite a bit of money to forgo UFA years. I guess when you get this close to UFA, it's hard not to want to increase your leverage.
He could easily be a tough sign next year.
I'm assuming on a long term deal he wanted something starting with a 5.

Disagree.
Opens up some options. Keeps the cap hit lower than $4M so they have more room to add another piece without being forced to move someone out (Eichel wouldn't fit of course).
Plus if the Flames do a face plant they likely do better than the third they used to acquire him by flipping him at the deadline as a rental.
The more teams move away from this fear of losing players to UFA the more financial flexibility they're going to have.

if the Flames are out by the TD, can easily recoup the 3rd

Wouldn't say it's that bad.
His role is as a physical defensive d-man, and he's fairly strong in that role.
Sure his overall advanced metrics aren't great but he's a guy that will fill a role on the team and with the right partner I think he could have some success.

Also, nice to see something happening . The barren desert that has been the past month in terms of NHL action has been dreadful.
Now do more please!
