Overview

• Zary’s extension concludes a months-long RFA negotiation and is structured to expire with him still a restricted free agent.
• The 2020 first-round pick tallied 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games last season after two left‑knee injuries ended his year early.
• Reports indicate he is expected to be ready for training camp, with the possibility of an expanded role being evaluated.
• The short-term deal preserves Calgary’s cap flexibility and comes in well below teammate Matt Coronato’s long-term contract.
• With Zary signed, the Flames have addressed one of their last major offseason items as they shift attention to other roster priorities.
