Flames Sign Krys Kolanos to Two-Year Deal

The Calgary Flames announced on Wednesday that they have signed center Krys Kolanos to a two-year, two-way contract and recalled him from their AHL affiliate in Abbotsford. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 34 games with Abbotsford, he has 18 goals and 22 assists for 40 points. He last appeared in the NHL during the 2008-09 season with the Minnesota Wild, scoring three goals and three assists for six points in 21 games. Kolanos has had an excellent season thus far with Abbotsford and the Flames have rewarded him with an NHL contract for his fine play. Kolanos has always been an excellent player at the AHL level, but has never been able to bring that success to the NHL. At best, he will likely play a role on Calgary's fourth line. Here's hoping he will bring some of his recent scoring touch from the AHL to the NHL.
