Flames sign Dillon Dube to a contract extension

The Calgary Flames announced on Thursday that they signed restricted free agent forward Dillon Dube to a three- year contract extension with a $2.3 million AAV.

Dube is just 22 years old, and had a decent season last year, tallying 11 goals and 11 assists. Both of those totals are career bests, and he was fifth on the Flames in goals.

If Dube's two-way game has improved, he could find himself with a spot in the top-six of the Flames lineup. He could definitely produce offense at a higher rate than his $2.3 million contract warrants.

Even if he can't crack the top-six, he will be a very good bottom-six forward who has a lot of potential to produce at a higher level in the coming years.
