Bourque welcomed to the Flames

Happy Canada Day! The Flames announced the acquisition of LW Rene Bourque from the Chicago Blackhawks today for a 2nd round draft pick. Bourque is a big kid at 6'2 and is only 26 years old. He has NHL expierence mostly on the 3rd line playing with the Blackhawks. He is a RFA, so the Flames will need to sign him to a contract, no biggie since he should come relatively cheap. I dont know much about him but I like the move. I could see him being given a chance among our top-6 but we will have to wait and see.
