The Calgary Flames continue to revamp their goaltending. Per multiple Twitter reports, the club has signed veteran back-up Chad Johnson to a one-year deal worth $1.7 million.

Almost a modern-day Rick Tabaracci, Johnson is a back-up’s back-up. A 30-year-old product of Saskatoon, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2006 but never played in their organization. After finishing up four years at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, he played spells with the New York Rangers, Phoenix Coyotes, Boston Bruins, New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres.

All-told, he’s played 101 NHL games and posted a pretty good 50-30-11 record with a 2.39 goals against average and .917 save percentage and a .925 even-strength save percentage.

The Flames paid $4.5 million to Jonas Hiller alone last year and got…not great goaltending. For 2016-17, they’re spending $4.2 million combined for both Johnson and Brian Elliott.

Well played, Mr. Treliving. Well played.
