CALGARY, AB – The Calgary Flames announced today the acquisition of defenseman Jordan Henry from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenseman Keith Seabrook. The Flames also announced today that they have signed Henry.

We look forward to seeing Jordan compete with our other recent depth acquisitions for a spot in our top seven in camp.”
