After infamously being called out by Edmonton Oilers CEO Bob Nicholson near the conclusion of his disastrous 2018–19 season, Tobias Rieder found a new home three hours down the QEII this year and carved a decent niche for himself.
The Flames signed Rieder to a one-year, league-minimum contract after inviting him to their September 2019 training camp, and, despite being waived in October, he eventually became a key cog of their defensive game.
He didn’t exactly light the world on fire (well, not until the playoffs, at least), but Rieder was a pretty solid presence on the fourth line whenever he played.
