Flames Re-Sign Sutter, Keetley, Chucko, Baldwin, Pelech

The Calgary Flames have announced a slew of minor-league signings over the past few days. The team has re-signed left wing Brett Sutter, goaltender Matt Keetley, right wing Kris Chucko, and defensemen Gord Baldwin and Matt Pelech to one-year contracts. The financial terms of all five deals were not disclosed. These aren't bad depth signings for the Flames. Sutter and Chucko both have a little offensive skill and play with some toughness. Pelech and Baldwin are both physical defensemen who play with lots of grit and toughness, while Keetley has some skill to become a backup goaltender at the NHL level one day. However, given the all the depth on the Flames roster, all five players are likely to spend most of next season in the minors.
