Flames Sign Moss to 3-Year Extension

The Calgary Flames have announced that they have signed right wing David Moss to a three-year contract extension worth $3.9 million. The deal averages out to $1.3 million per season. He would have become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In 81 games this season with the Flames, Moss had 20 goals and 19 assists for 39 points, a career season for the 27-year-old forward. In three seasons with the Flames, he has played in 163 games, scoring 34 goals and 34 assists for 68 points. This is a decent signing by the Flames, as Moss improved his game in nearly every area this season. He gives the team skill on the power play, evident from his eight power play goals this season, and another legitimate 20-goal scorer. He's a bargain at $1.3 million per season and could have easily gotten more on the open market. Moss will likely be an important part of the Flames power play over the next three seasons and could likely he his offensive numbers increase.
