The Calgary Flames re-signed forward Ben Hanowski to a one-year, two-way contract on Saturday. The financial details aren’t clear at this time.
The 23-year-old scored two assists in 11 games with Calgary last season, also collecting 31 points in 55 contests with the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat.
He was part of the trade that sent Jarome Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2012-13, which explains why he appeared in five games (collecting one goal) in that season, as well. (The Flames also acquired Kenny Agostino and a first-rounder that became Morgan Klimchuk in that deadline deal.)
The Penguins selected him in the third round (63rd overall) of the 2009 NHL Draft.
It appears that the Flames still have some work to do regarding restricted free agents:
Hanowski becomes the first of the qualified RFA's to sign. Colborne, Bouma, Ortio the high profile ones up watch now. #Flames
