The last big piece of off-season restricted free agent work is done for the Calgary Flames. The club announced on Thursday that forward Dillon Dube has been re-signed to a three-year deal worth $2.3 million per season against the salary cap.

Dube contract details:
Year one: $2.2 million Year two: $2.3 million Year three: $2.4 million
He’ll be RFA with arbitration rights at the end of the deal and due a $2.4 million qualifying offer. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Flames?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Flames</a>

The fine folks at Evolving-Hockey projected a $2.399 million deal if Dube was signed for three seasons, so this is basically spot-on with what they estimated based on the market and Dube&#8217;s underlying metrics.
Dube, 23, was a second round selection by the Flames in the 2016 NHL Draft. (He was drafted with a pick they acquired from Dallas in the Kris Russell trade.) He was a standout with the Western League&#8217;s Kelowna Rockets, capturing a WHL crown and playing in the Memorial Cup in his first full season in the league. He played on two Canadian World Junior squads, capturing silver as a secondary player and then gold the following season as team captain.
As a pro, Dube&#8217;s established himself as a promising young player who could perhaps be even better with more consistency. He played in the NHL in each of his three entry-level seasons &#8211; playing 25, 45 and 51 NHL games respectively &#8211; and he has carved out a really nice niche for himself as a speedy forechecker who can be counted upon for offense. He had 11 goals and 22 points during the shortened 2020-21 season.
As Pat noted, Dube will be an RFA with arbitration rights when this deal expires following the 2023-24 season. He&#8217;ll require a $2.4 million qualifying offer that off-season.
