The Calgary Flames have announced the signing of blueliner Michael Stone to a one-year contract worth $700,000.
Stone, a native of Winnipeg, is an NHL veteran of 439 games with 29 goals and 88 assists for 117 points split between the Arizona Coyotes and Calgary Flames. Stone suited up in 14 games for the Flames last season due to an injury that kept him out for most of the year.
Just a little over a month ago, the Flames bought out the final year of Stone's three-year, $10.5 million contract, making him an unrestricted free agent. However, the team likely felt the need to bring him back after 20-year-old Juuso Valimaki was announced as being out indefinitely after tearing the ACL in his right knee during offseason training.
