It appears that the signings have begun. Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports and the Journal de Montreal is reporting that the Calgary Flames have re-signed defenseman Dalton Prout to a one-year one-way deal worth $800,000.

Prout, 28, came to the Flames organization in a minor-league trade that sent Eddie Lack to New Jersey. Ironically, both guys signed one-year extensions on the very same day.
By all accounts Prout was a good soldier on the farm. He had 9 points in 34 games with Stockton and his cap hit suggests one of two things: either (a) he’s the seventh defenseman this season or (b) he’s a veteran they can put on the farm to mentor the youngsters, particularly Juuso Valimaki.
