Sujet: Flames sign 2 players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlindMilwaukee</b></div><div>I could have seen Richardson as a PTO. Maybe Calgary struggles to attract vets on PTOs.

Calgary actually signs a lot of guys to PTOs. Last year it was Brett Ritchie and Garrett Sparks, the year before it was Zac Rinaldo, DSP, Grenier, and Rieder. Couple decent guys there (mainly Rieder and Ritchie were semi-regulars, Rinaldo did play a couple games too). They’ve also got Alex Gallant on a PTO for this year already.

As for Richardson, hopefully scoring goals from the 4th line won’t make or break our season, but it would be good to get some scoring from down there. He did have a lot of goals a couple years ago, maybe he can get some of that back? I think he’s more of a stopgap though, to make it tougher for Gawdin or Ruzicka and then sit in the press box, filling in when the kids need a break.

Mackey contract is fine of course, I just thought Treliving is usually the type to grind young guys down as low as possible lol, especially with next to no NHL experience. Hopefully the organization’s high hopes for him come true.
