The Calgary Flames have signed free agent right-winger Troy Brouwer and goaltender Chad Johnson. “The offers were going to have to equal out for him to stay, and we were a little bit shy of that offer”.

Louis deal makes sense for both parties: Elliott’s departure leaves a void to fill in behind regular netminder, Jake Allen, while Hutton had been lost in the shuffle behind Nashville’s everyday goaltender in Pekka Rinne. It didn’t take them long to find his replacement, as they have reportedly agreed to terms with former Nashville Predators goalie Carter Hutton. Allen, 25, started 44 games last season after entering it with 45 career starts, which may present Hutton with more appearances.

Hutton compiled a 33-23-15 record and posted a 2.55 goals-against average and 9.10 save percentage over his three-year stretch for the Preds. Since his first career National Hockey League game (Feb. 5, 2013), the Fredericton, New Brunswick, native owns the NHL’s fourth best win percentage (.672) among goaltenders with at least 50 games played.

The Flames got Chiasson from the Ottawa Senators on Monday in exchange for minor-league defenceman Pat Sieloff.
