CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The Calgary Flames traded defenseman Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.
In return, the Flames got a first-round pick and two prospects — defenseman Mark Cundari and goaltender Reto Berra.
If St. Louis does not qualify for this year’s playoffs, the Flames will receive St. Louis’ fourth-round selection in this summer’s draft, with the first-round pick being deferred to 2014.
The move comes after Calgary started to rebuild by trading captain Jarome Iginla to Pittsburgh last week.
