===Calgary Flames=== [[File:Roman Turek.jpg|right|thumb|Turek with the [[Calgary Flames]] in 2004]] In the off-season, Turek was traded to the [[Calgary Flames]]. In the 2003β04 season, Turek's status as the Flames' starting goaltender was altered drastically when, following an injury to Turek, [[Darryl Sutter]] traded a conditional draft pick to the San Jose Sharks for [[Miikka Kiprusoff]]. Though he struggled in San Jose, Kiprusoff's stellar performances in Calgary relegated Turek to the bench. However, Turek was a dependable backup, as Kiprusoff led the Flames to the [[2004 Stanley Cup Finals]] against the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]]. In 2004, Turek restructured his contract to substantially drop his salary from $5 million plus bonuses for the 2004β05 and 2005β06 seasons. The restructuring brought his salary to between $1 million and $2 million, with potential earnings relying heavily on performance bonuses. The restructuring saved the Calgary Flames organization between $3 million and $4 million in the 2004β05 season.<ref>{{cite news |title=Report: Turek re-works deal with Flames |url=http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=89653 |date=2004-07-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040822162853/http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=89653 |archive-date=2004-08-22}}</ref> Turek announced his retirement from the NHL on August 9, 2005.
