Flames Agree To Terms With Tobias Rieder

September 29, 2019 at 10:00 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 4 Comments

Sunday: The Flames officially announced the deal, which as reported, is a one-year, two-way deal at $700K.

Saturday: Reports surfaced yesterday that the Flames and Tobias Rieder were working towards a contract.  It appears a deal has been reached as both John Matisz of The Score (Twitter link) and PuckPedia (Twitter link) report that Rieder has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the latter adding that the winger will receive a guaranteed $400K while his salary in the NHL will be the league minimum $700K.

To say that last season was a disaster for the 26-year-old would be an understatement as he went the entire year without a goal, collecting just 11 assists in 67 games despite logging a respectable 12:39 per night in ice time.  That resulted in him being non-tendered by Edmonton back in June over giving him a $2MM qualifying offer and him needing to go the PTO route to secure a new contract.

However, Rieder’s speed still makes him an effective weapon in the bottom six and on the penalty kill and while he didn’t score last year, he had double-digit goal totals in his previous four NHL seasons between Arizona and Los Angeles so there’s a little upside with this move if he can return to his previous form.  If not, it’s a no-risk proposition that would see his entire cap hit removed if he cleared waivers and was sent to the AHL so the move is certainly a worthwhile one for the Flames.

    Flames should be looking for Defenseman of waivers or cuts not going out and signing two way contracts to 2 players who basically give you nothing , even Rieder scores more than Rinaldo, he even scored two goals vs. Edmonton in exhibition game last night , Rinaldo is on waivers my bad.

    I know he is on two way deal , just saying if he gets in with Calgary during year , just not a big fan of him, normally don’t hate players just not excited by his game. Rieder no qualms, was hoping they would go after a Defenseman, they are thin on blue line prospects. Kevin Connauton may work he is on waivers or LaDue from Los Angeles.
