While all eyes turn to the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers as they prepare for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday in Edmonton, it’s also a moment to reflect on past playoff greatness.
The NHL Draft is less than a month away. Craig Conroy must create a sense of direction to go in at this year’s draft. Looking at the current prospect pool of the Calgary Flames, they seriously lack some talent at centre.
When the Calgary Flames hit the free agent market in the summer of 2024, arguably the only “big” move they made was signing winger Anthony Mantha. On paper, the signing made a lot of sense.
When it comes to the Calgary Flames, after the 2024-25 season we know one thing for sure: Dustin Wolf is going to be between the pipes for the foreseeable future in pretty much every important game.
The Calgary Flames barely missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the 2024-2025 season. Now, they have choices to make, especially regarding one of their better defenseman.
In the history of the Calgary Flames franchise, they have a lot of success drafting players out of the Western Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League.
As we inch closer to the 2025 NHL Draft, let’s continue our look at players who could be potential offer sheet targets for the Calgary Flames. To be eligible for an offer sheet, players must be approaching restricted free agent status and coming off another prior NHL contract.
When it comes to contract negotiations, life is always easier for both parties when a comparable market value already exists. Throwing out your own estimations of your player’s valuation is challenging sometimes, especially if a player is pretty early in their playing career and hasn’t established themselves.
The Calgary Flames might have to get crafty in their pursuit of a centreman in this year’s NHL Draft. Barring a move up the board, they won’t be on the clock until the 18th selection, and won’t have the opportunity to select any of the ‘elite’ draw takers.
Martin Frk was a newcomer to the Calgary Flames’ organization in the 2024-25 season. He made some of his first appearances in pre-season play with the Flames and was assigned to the Wranglers.

In the world of sports, we love our round-number milestones. In the NHL, the line of greatness has long been set at the 500-goal mark. That makes sense, given that only 46 players have ever reached it.
When National Hockey League teams make draft choices, they do so with a lot of optimism. But since teams have a finite number of contracts and roster spots, they can’t sign everybody, and sometimes draftees don’t end up signing with the clubs that drafted them.

Free agency is just over a month away, and teams are looking ahead to when it opens. There will be several impact players set to hit the open market in July, while many teams also have key restricted free agents to re-sign.
If you watched Dustin Wolf closely in his draft year, you knew he’d be one of the smaller goalies to figure it out. He had one of the best seasons by a draft-eligible goaltender in more than a decade, going 41-15-4 with seven shutouts and a whopping .936 save percentage with the Everett Silvertips.
