Calgary Flames fans were scrambling for a scouting report on Kevin Rooney. A few hours earlier, the 29-year-old centre had been doing some homework of his own. yyc NHL CalgaryFlames
“I think that was one of the ultimate deciding factors on wanting to go to Calgary — I felt like I could fit in with the way they play and the style they play and I could bring speed, grit, sandpaper and depth to the team. I think it’s a really good fit for me, personally.”
They like his size — he is listed at 6-foot-2 and 201 lb. — and speed and expect he’ll provide the sort of tenacious forechecking that Darryl Sutter demands from his forwards. Although the left-hander was successful on just 44.8% of swipes this past winter, they see signs he is improving his handiwork at the faceoff dot.
Rooney mixed six goals and six assists in 61 regular-season loggings with the Rangers in 2021-22. He picked up a pair of helpers in 15 playoff appearances as the Blueshirts advanced to the NHL’s Eastern Conference final.
