Flames Sign (F) Wayne Primeau and (D) David Hale

According to The Fan 960 Calgary, The Calgary Flames have signed Forward Wayne Primeau to a 3 year deal, and Defenseman David Hale to a 1 year contract.

Thoughts: I really expected Primeau to sign elsewhere as a UFA but am happy to hear he's here to stay, he's a solid hard working big guy out there, good in any situation and a good team player. Hale should get a good look this season, the games he did play in I was impressed with his stability. His medical condition may limit the amount of games he gets but when he plays he should be pretty respectable.

edit: As per David Hale's comments on The Fan 960, his medical condition is completely under control and should not be a problem next year.
