White signs one year deal with Flames

Minutes before the scheduled arbitration hearing between Ian White and the Calgary Flames, the two sides came to an agreement on a one year deal reportedly worth $2,999,995. This deal now means the Flames are roughly $3 million over the salary cap and must either buy-out another contract(Kotalik), or make a trade(possibly Sarich or Regehr).

The one year contract makes White a UFA after this year. If White has another productive season, he could be looking for an even bigger raise after the 2011 campaign.

Stay tuned for another domino to fall as the Flames must move quickly in shedding some salary.
