Nazem Kadri has cashed in on a career season.
The 31-year-old center has signed a seven-year, $49-million deal ($7M AAV) with the Calgary Flames, according to multiple reports.
In a corresponding move, the Flames dealt centre Sean Monahan to the Montreal Canadiens. Monahan has one year remaining on his contract that carries a $6.375 million cap hit.
Kadri had a career-high 87 points in 71 games anchoring Colorado's second line last season. He also chipped in another 15 points in 16 playoff games en route to his first Stanley Cup, highlighted by a heroic Game 4 overtime winner against Tampa Bay in his return from injury.
