— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) August 15, 2016It's not exactly the free agent signing(s) Flames fans are waiting for, but the team announced today they have re-inked 23-year-old defender Tyler Wotherspoon. According to the team site, the contract is a one-year, two-way deal, which is to be expected for a guy entering the "prove it" phase of his young career.
Wotherspoon is still an unknown commodity at the NHL level and he's running out of time to convince the club he's anything more than an AHLer.
