Via the radio I've learned that the Flames have re-signed David Hale (1 year contract) and, surprisingly, Wayne Primeau (3 year contract). No word on dollar figures yet.
I expected Hale to be re-upped but not Primeau. Wayne excelled the first couple weeks as a Flame but then seemed to settle into the basic, dime-a-dozen depth guy type performance later on. I figured he'd be allowed to walk as his contributions could probably be replaced by a rookie. I guess Sutter disagreed with me.
That's the 2nd bottom-6 player signing that's surprised me this off-season (the first being Marcus Nilson). Available roster spots for aspiring baby Flames seem to be drying up pretty quickly.
