The Calgary Flames have signed defenceman Simon Nemec to a five-year contract, the team announced.
Nemec came to Calgary as part of a trade with the New Jersey Devils completed on June 23. At the time of the trade, Nemec was a restricted free agent, meaning the Devils retained his negotiating rights before the deal was finalized with the Flames.
With the signing, Calgary secures Nemec's services on a long-term deal as the team continues to build its blue-line depth heading into the coming season.
