"The Calgary Flames have lost one defenceman and locked down another.

Veteran Adam Pardy has reportedly signed a two-year contract in Dallas for $2 million per season. Pardy, 27, is coming off major shoulder surgery.

Meanwhile, the Flames have signed defenceman Chris Butler to a two-year deal worth $1.25 million a season. At the draft, general manager Jay Feaster acquired the six-foot-one, 200 pounder along with centre Paul Byron for defencemen Robyn Regehr, forward Ales Kotalik and a 2012 second-round draft pick.

"We are very pleased to have Chris signed for the next two years, " Feaster said. "This enables him to focus solely on preparing for the upcoming season and not have to worry about his contract status."
