"For Krys Kolanos, hands have never been the issue.
Now that his hip is right, the Calgary-born forward is getting another shot on hockey's biggest stage.
Kolanos, who spent all of last winter (and then some) recovering from micro-fracture surgery, spun an impressive audition with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat into a two-way contract offer from the Calgary Flames.
On Wednesday, the 30-year-old inked a two-year deal worth US$525,000 per season and was rewarded with an immediate call-up from the farm club.
Not a bad signing bonus."
