The Flames announce today that they have signed forward Joakim Nordstrom to a one-year contract with an AAV of $700,000.

TERM: One year
AAV: $700,000

Nordstrom, a native of Stockholm, Sweden registered his 400th career NHL game last season after having spent time with Chicago, Carolina and the last two seasons in Boston. He also has an additional 46 games of playoffs under his belt including 36 over the last two seasons with the Bruins. In 2014-15 Nordstrom was named captain of Chicago's AHL affiliate in Rockford before being recalled by the Blackhawks and winning the 2015 Stanley Cup.

Internationally, Nordstrom has won several medals representing his native Sweden including gold at the 2012 World Junior Championship in Calgary and the 2017 World Championship in Germany.

I don't know much about him, but I enjoy his stores, so can't be too bad.

An under-30 former champion with 400+ NHL games on a one-year $700k deal is damn difficult to dislike.

Doesn't feel like minor league depth. Guy played a lot of games recently.

Trade coming? Ryan maybe?

not saying he's a direct Reider replacement, but I like the idea of an additional minimum wage 'veteran' as one of the 4th line options

I think Nordstrom is here to fill Reider’s spot.

A meat shield if ever there was one.
