CALGARY, Alberta -- The Calgary Flames quickly filled a couple of needs Friday by signing winger Troy Brouwer to a four-year deal worth a reported $4.5 million annually and giving a one-year deal to goaltender Chad Johnson for a reported $1.7 million.The six-foot-three, 213-pound Brouwer is a candidate to play on the top line with Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau after the Flames dealt Jiri Hudler to Florida in February. Brouwer, 30, won a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010. The Vancouver native had 18 goals and 21 assists in 82 games, plus eight goals and five assists in 20 playoff games, for the St. Louis Blues in 2015-16.Brouwer spent three seasons in Chicago and four in Washington before one season in St. Louis.I think he wanted to remain here, but he didnt have the ties to the community, Blues GM Doug Armstrong said. The offers were going to have to equal out for him to stay, and we were a little bit shy of that offer.Brouwer has compiled 150 goals and 144 assists in 613 career NHL games.After bouncing unsuccessfully between four goaltenders in 2015-16, the Flames have picked up two new ones in as many weeks. Brian Elliott, acquired at the NHL draft from St. Louis for a second-round pick and a conditional draft pick, has a year remaining on contract that counts $2.5 million against the salary cap. Johnson appeared in a career-high 45 games for the Buffalo Sabres this past season.Calgary did not announce new contracts for star forwards and restricted free agents Monahan and Gaudreau, who were extended qualifying offers Monday.Calgary finished out of the playoffs this past season at 35-40-7.

They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.They couldnt, could they?Surely the AFLs newest club couldnt win a premiership in just its fifth year of existence?After Saturdays powerful statement against cross-town rivals Sydney, many would be reconsidering their view that a team in a maiden finals campaign couldnt possibly pinch a flag.The Giants are the real deal.There were plenty of question marks ahead of the contest against the Swans: How would a side with 16 finals debutants handle the heat of September? And considering the largest crowd the Giants have played in front of was 46,737 (in Round 10 this year against the Crows at Adelaide Oval) - how would they cope with the pressure of performing in front of more than 60,000 fans?The answers were emphatic. The Giants were far from overawed against their battle-hardened opponents; matching the Swans famed intensity early and then surpassing it in a dominant second half.The 12.19 (91) to 7.13 (55)?victory was a statement in itself, but the way the bold and brazen Giants took on the Swans at their own contested game and then smashed them on the outside was a sign of a team with legitimate claims for this years title.The sheer volume and intensity of running from their talent-laden engine room - led by Stephen Coniglio, Lachie Whitfield, Ryan Griffen, Toby Greene and Tom Scully - overwhelmed the Swans, whose own midfield depth is the envy of most sides in the competition.Up forward, Jeremy Cameron appeared born for the big stage, taking six marks, winning 13 touches and booting 4.4 - only bad kicking for goal prevented him from vying for best afield honours. Steve Johnson (0.5) and Devon Smith (1.3) were buzzing around at Camerons feet and while they were also wasteful, their pressure around the contest was vital.Johnsons high hit on Josh Kennedy will have the former Caat sweating as the Match Review Panel assesses this weeks incidents, but that was the only dampener on an otherwise scintillating performance.ddddddddddddWe knew it was going to be on and we didnt shy away, coach Leon Cameron said after the victory. We were really proud that when the moments came, we stood tall.Standing tall they certainly did, and the AFLs newest team will now get to put its feet up and recover, then plan and prepare for a preliminary final at their Spotless Stadium fortress against either Hawthorn or the Western Bulldogs.The Giants have officially awoken, but how far can they go?With a clean bill of health and a squad oozing confidence, theyre in prime position to at least make it to the big dance.Experts, fans and bookmakers alike have taken note.[The Giants were] $34 before the season, $67 after their opening round loss to Melbourne, [and are] now $3.25 co-favourties, UBET spokesman Nick Curry tweeted after the game.It was always obvious the Giants boasted enough talent to challenge for a premiership - or two, or three, or more -- in the near future. The unknowns were a lack of finals experience and whether they could cope with the red-hot pressure of the biggest games.While one game is far from a strong sample size, GWS showed they are more than comfortable in the heat of September.Their quirky theme song features the lyrics: You feel the ground a-shaking, the other teams are quaking in their boots before the Giants.Whether or not they get to sing those words after this years grand final, there is substantial truth to those lyrics. Come 6pm or so on October 1, those lyrics may resonate even stronger for the other 17 clubs. ' ' '
