[Signing] Flames sign Tobias Rieder (1 yr, 2-way, $700k AAV)

[Toonage]

Tonight they do. Thursday could be $5M less.

Heck, could be cheaper by the 2nd period.

I think the reason Dube is in Stockton is waivers.

If the Flames had a 23 man roster, he would be here. And he would be playing.

That will happen later in the year. For now, he gets ice-time.

That's fair.

Not sure what the combined bottom 6 league average would be but
Washington totals around 12 million with Hathaway.
Calgary's is about 15.5 million at the moment.

Lots of blunders with free agents over the years and it does affect the cost/build of the team.

Is it just me or when a player is sucking, you make comments about how you want them gone, traded, demoted, benched, scratched, shot to the sun, etc, they very next game they score to make you look like an idiot?

I'll concede that Rieder had a great game regardless of him scoring a goal.

I've liked Rieder's game.
