Flames Sign Connor Zary to Three-Year, $3.775 Million Bridge Deal

The three-year term preserves flexibility, signaling faith in Zary’s upside.

Overview

  • Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the agreement was nearing completion, and Eric Francis confirmed the three-year contract at a $3.775 million AAV on Sept. 5.
  • The deal keeps the 23-year-old forward under club control through his final year of RFA status.
  • Zary produced 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games last season before a second knee injury ended his year early.
  • Reports indicate the injuries were not as severe as initially feared, and he is expected to be available for training camp.
  • With Zary signed, the Flames have resolved a key offseason item while remaining tasks include a Dustin Wolf extension and decisions regarding Rasmus Andersson.
