As the calendar flips over into Canada Day, the free agency courting period turns into the free agency signing period players are beginning to make decisions. The Calgary Flames have reportedly come to terms with two forwards this evening. Per Sportsnet‘s Elliotte Friedman, the Flames have inked center Derek Ryan to a three year contract and winger Austin Czarnik to a two year contract.
Cap hits for the two deals aren’t currently available, which makes it a bit of a challenge to judge the moves as of yet.

In terms of fit, though, it’s hard to argue against either move.
