Flames re-sign RFAs Glenn Gawdin and Justin Kirkland

A little bit of mid-week news, folks. The Calgary Flames have announced two re-signings, as they’ve re-upped with restricted free agent forwards Glenn Gawdin and Justin Kirkland on one-year deals.

Per our pal Pat Steinberg, Gawdin’s deal is worth $750,000 in the NHL and $100,000 in the AHL. Kirkland will make $750,000 at the NHL level, while his AHL compensation is currently unavailable.

Gawdin’s heading into a big season, as the right shot centre should be a strong candidate to replace Derek Ryan as the Flames’ fourth line centre. He’s been a superb AHL two-way presence since going pro in 2018 after a strong WHL career with the Swift Current Broncos.
