Shouldn't the Flames have signed him and kept him for the AHL team?

He had a few moments and the effort was there but overall he's one of the worst players I have seen in a while.

I'm surprised he got a job. I don't think he can play NHL hockey.

Puts a lot of effort in and filled his role on the Flames. Good for him for continuing his career.

My favorite Rinaldo stat was he had a slightly higher ppg in 19/20 than Sam Bennett.

Other than that there are better options on this club for 4th line shirt disturbers already.

The Flames already have plenty of wingers for Stockton. Alex Gallant basically renders Rinaldo completely redundant down there. Brett Ritchie could be there, too.

Glad he's gone. He's just a cheap shot artist. Quite frankly, I was embarrassed to have him on the roster. With players like Coleman, Lucic, Zadarov, etc.. on the roster we don't need "enforcers" like Rinaldo on the team.

I can't say anything bad about him. He seemed to work his butt off, stuck up for his teammates regularly, and he seemed liked a big part of the room. I wish him well.

Will always chuckle at the time he and Lucic dyed their hair blonde and just ate up the dumb juniors bash brothers routine. That was so fun

How can we let our 27th* most valuable player go without recouping some assets?

He wasn't great at hockey, but he did seem like a great team guy, for whatever that is worth these days. Good luck Zac and good for you to get another paycheque.
