The Calgary Flames continue to make moves this offseason, today signing Tanner Glass to a one-year deal worth $650K. Glass had been attending camp on a professional tryout, but will now join the club on a full-time contract.
Glass will be joining the Flames after a three-year stint in New York where he suited up for 134 games with the Rangers. Amazingly, he’ll leave that team after perhaps his most impressive period. In seven playoff games last year, Glass recorded four points including the game winner in Game 1 against the Montreal Canadiens. He won’t be expected to do much scoring with the Flames, as he has just 69 career regular season points.
Still, Glass will provide a bit of toughness and physicality for the Flames as they try to prove they’re ready for the next step. The team went out and acquired Mike Smith, Eddie Lack and Travis Hamonic this summer before signing Jaromir Jagr in recent days. While the team will still be relying on their young group of forwards, Glass and the other veteran additions will try to add whatever they can to the fringes of the roster.
