Flames Re-Sign Prospect Left Wing Kyle Greentree

The Calgary Flames have announced that they have re-signed prospect left wing Kyle Greentree. Length and terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Flames acquired Greentree last June from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Tim Ramholt. In two games last season for the Flames, Greentree was held pointless. He also appeared in two games for the Flyers in 2007-08, also scoring no points. This is a good signing by the Flames, as Greentree has lots of offensive potential, however, it will be difficult to judge the effectiveness of the signing until the length of the contract is released. He has lots of scoring potential and is also a very physical forward, making him one of the Flames top prospects and one of their most coveted. He could very well earn a roster spot on the Flames next season, likely on their fourth line, but that will depend on a couple of factors. Greentree making the Flames next season will be contingent on whether or not they re-sign Mike Cammalleri and on how well Greentree performs in training camp in the fall.
