After being a big spending in previous seasons, the Calgary Flames were relatively quiet on July 1 this year. Their lone significant move was signing free agent goaltender Cam Talbot. Flames general manager Brad Treliving chatted with the assembled media on Monday afternoon at the Saddledome.

Before discussing Talbot’s addition, Treliving expressed appreciation for Mike Smith’s contributions to the club – given the netminder’s departure in free agency to Edmonton.
