Flames ink Brad Richardson, re-sign Connor Mackey

The Calgary Flames made a pair of moves Wednesday, agreeing with unrestricted free-agent forward Brad Richardson on a one-year, $800,000 contract, and re-signing defenseman Connor Mackey to a two-year pact with a $912,500 cap hit.

Richardson played for Flames head coach Darryl Sutter earlier in his career with the Los Angeles Kings. The 36-year-old was limited to 17 games with the Nashville Predators last season, posting one goal and three assists while averaging 12:16 of ice time per game.

Mackey played most of 2021 with Calgary's AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat. The 24-year-old produced three goals and 13 assists over 27 games at that level while adding one marker and two helpers across six NHL contests with the Flames.
