Flames sign college free agent Tyson Gross to 2 year ELC
6'3'' right shot Center
https://twitter.com/user/status/2032114185656471689
Corey Pronman had him as #2 on his Euro and NCAA free agent list
Quote:
|
Gross took significant steps forward this season, becoming a top player in the NCHC. His pure tools will excite teams: He’s big, fast and skilled. His game has a lot of pace and energy, and he’s fairly competitive, too. Despite the offensive progression he’s shown, I have minor questions on his hockey IQ and how many plays he’ll make at the next level, but he has a legit chance to play in the league.

Gross is considered by many to be the top free agent on the board this year. He had 45 points in his first two college campaigns combined and nearly matched that this season alone. He’s an excellent skater who consistently creates plays at a high pace. Gross generates high-quality chances often and spends a lot of time around the net looking to bag home some rebounds. Gross is physical, smart and always involved, with and without the puck. Many teams have been linked to Gross, but many expect the Calgary Flames, who brought Gross to development camp in the past, to be the frontrunner for the 6-foot-3 forward.

Father works for the Flames
Quote:
When your father works for an NHL team, there is likely to be a fair amount of hockey memorabilia around the house.
That is definitely the case in the home of St. Cloud State center Tyson Gross. His father, Kevin, is the vice president of partnerships and sales for the Calgary Flames.
"We've got a lot," Gross said of the amount of Flames hockey items in the house. "He grew up being a super fan. I grew up going to all the games. We've got a lot of jerseys, a lot of pictures around the house."

I love it. Keep throwing as many darts at the center position as it takes.

He is also pretty good at faceoffs. 59.2% with over 700 faceoffs taken this season.
Contract starts this season, which means the Flames have 48 of 50 slots for the rest of this season. Last 2 spots likely go to Wiebe and Castanga as Francis says.

Center log jam shaping up on the Wranglers next year.
Gross/Castagna/King with potentially Kerins coming back and Reschny also signing.

How sought after? Did we beat multiple teams? How big of a signing/win is this?

it would be awesome if he could become Colin Graf, Max Sasson, Tim Washe or Sam Malinski. Handful of recent college UFAs who are legit NHLers

Conroy said there were 6 or 7 teams in the mix for him.

Excellent news. And I am not afraid to admit that I like it even more knowing the Oilers were after him too.
Big, fast, engaging C that is good on the dot - what's not to like.
This is essentially another 2nd or 3rd round pick (to go with the 8 picks in the top 70 Conroy already has in his pocket). Tearing down the team, and acquiring draft capital is the easiest part of a rebuild, but regardless, Conroy is killing it right now.
