The Calgary Flames acquired defenceman Jordan Henry from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenceman Keith Seabrook. The Flames then signed Henry to a one-year deal.
“Jordan Henry is a two-way defenceman who plays with an edge to his game,” Flames general manager Jay Feaster said. “He is a responsible and smart defender, yet he is also adept at joining the rush and pinching down the wall to support the offense. He is still a solid prospect and we viewed this trade as an opportunity to give two young players a new start with different organizations. We look forward to seeing Jordan compete with our other recent depth acquisitions for a spot in our top seven in camp.”
Henry, a native of Milo, AB, played five seasons in the WHL with the Moose Jaw Warriors and the Red Deer Rebels. After completing his junior career, Henry signed as a free agent with the Florida Panthers and split his first professional year between the Florida Everblades (ECHL) and Rochester Americans (AHL). During his final campaign with Rochester (2009-10) he recorded 31 points and accumulated 104 penalty minutes in 76 games. Following three seasons in the AHL, Henry signed with Minsk Dynamo of the KHL for the 2010-11 season.
