Overview

• Sportsnet’s Eric Francis confirmed the $3.775 million AAV after Elliotte Friedman reported the deal was nearing completion earlier Friday.
• Zary logged 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games last season, missing significant time following two left-knee injuries including a March collision that ended his year.
• He has 27 goals and 61 points across 117 NHL games since breaking into Calgary’s lineup in 2023–24.
• The three-year term functions as a bridge that reflects recent injuries and allows both sides to gauge sustained top-six production.
• With Zary signed, Calgary has checked off its last major offseason item, leaving defenseman Nikita Okhotyuk as the team’s remaining RFA.
