The Pittsburgh Penguins re-signed one of their unrestricted free agents today, inking forward Pascal Dupuis to a three-year contract worth an average of $1.4 million per season.
Dupuis joined the Penguins at the trade deadline as part of the deal that sent Marian Hossa from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and quickly established himself as a valuable energetic forward capable of playing on the scoring lines as well as the checking lines.
The Calgary Flames added some affordable depth at forward by acquiring Rene Bourque from the Chicago Blackhawks for a draft pick.
Bourque was once considering among the Blackhawks most promising players but injuries hampered his development and with the emergence of other young 'Hawks prospects he no longer fit into their roster.
