Overview

• The Flames opted against major trades or marquee free-agent splashes during the offseason to preserve cap flexibility.
• Prospects Adam Klapka and defenseman Kevin Bahl signed contract extensions that solidify Calgary’s young core.
• Goaltending depth was reshaped when the Flames signed Ivan Prosvetov to replace departing backup Dan Vladar.
• Speculated trades involving Rasmus Andersson and Nazem Kadri did not materialize, leaving both veterans on Calgary’s roster.
• Potential scoring wingers Pius Suter, Andrew Mangiapane and Jonathan Drouin signed elsewhere, leaving Calgary without an external addition to its top-nine forwards as it relies on internal progression.
