The Calgary Flames truly worked some miracles this offseason.
On Thursday, NHL insiders reported that the Flames had signed reigning Stanley Cup champion Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, $49 million deal worth $7 million a season. To make the salary work, the Flames also reportedly shipped out Sean Monahan to Montreal for an undisclosed return. In the midst of a relatively quiet offseason after the busy start of free agency, the news stunned hockey fans, especially after rumors swirled around the New York Islanders being the potential landing spot for Kadri.
