Jerry Lai / USA TODAY Sports
Unrestricted free agent defenseman Sheldon Brookbank appears set to move from Chicago to Calgary after failing to agree to terms on a new contract with the Blackhawks.
Sheldon Brookbank had hoped to re-sign with #Blackhawks but defenseman is moving on and will attend Flames' training camp on a tryout.

Brookbank, who added, "It was an honor to play for the Hawks," appeared in 48 games for Chicago last season, scoring two goals, adding five assists and registering 52 penalty minutes while averaging 12:53 of ice time per game.
He also chipped in two assists in seven playoff games, and made $2.5 million on his now-expired two-year deal with the club.
The Flames also added former Hawk Brandon Bollig via trade earlier this summer.
