ST. PAUL, Minn., June 25 (UPI) -- The Calgary Flames have agreed to a five-year, $17.5 million contract extension with forward Alex Tanguay, the team said Saturday.
The deal, announced at the NHL Draft meetings in St. Paul, Minn., came coupled with a trade of defenseman Robyn Regehr from the Flames to Buffalo for Chris Butler and Paul Byron, which opened up space under the salary cap for Tanguay's deal.
