The Calgary Flames have signed defenceman Jake Bean to a two-year contract worth $1.75 million per year. Bean, a Calgary native and son of the team's former president and CEO John Bean, was not given a qualifying offer by the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 26-year-old defenceman has previously played at Edge School and with the Calgary Hitmen. This move brings Bean back to his hometown, where he is expected to tap into his potential. Sources indicate the deal is just under $2 million, according to DailyFaceoff.
