The Calgary Flames are eyeing a blockbuster trade for elite young center Shane Wright, who’s reportedly on the move from Seattle. At just 22, Wright boasts elite skill, gold-medal pedigree, and 44 points in 79 games last season — despite a dip in production. Calgary’s thin center depth, anchored by aging veterans, makes him a perfect fit for a top-line role and power-play minutes. But Seattle’s as...

Craig Conroy’s reign as Calgary Flames GM is defined by the number seven—each time, he’s reshaped the roster by moving seven key players, from veterans to prospects. After trading away seven expiring-contract stars and later letting go of seven core veterans, he’s now betting on seven first-round draft picks to lead the next era. Conroy’s clear message: it’s time for young talent to step up and ta...

The Calgary Flames made a bold move in the 2026 NHL Draft, selecting nine new players with a mix of elite talent and high-potential risers—some carrying injury baggage. Top pick Carson Carels dazzled as a defenseman with 73 points in the WHL, while Jack Hextall and Chase Harrington delivered strong offensive stats. Goalie Tobias Trejbal led the USHL in GAA and shutouts, and Alan Shaikhlislamov sho...

The Calgary Wranglers gear up for a pivotal 2026-27 season with a 72-game schedule split evenly between home and road, featuring heavy divisional matchups and a few key non-divisional games. After missing the playoffs for the first time since relocating, the team aims to rebound with a revamped roster, including a new captain, as they open at home against Abbotsford on October 2nd. Their longest r...

Ethan Wyttenbach’s development camp with the Calgary Flames was a turning point—after missing last year due to injury, he fully immersed himself in team chemistry, bonding with rivals-turned-teammates Cole Reschny and Cullen Potter. Once fierce NCAA opponents, they’re now roommates and training partners, forging off-ice friendships that’ll fuel their on-ice growth. With 59 points as a freshman, Wy...

The NHL just rewrote the rules on draft rights, giving teams more time to sign players — but it’s a mess for teams like Calgary. Drafted at 18? You’ve got until June 1st, four years later — or 30 days after college. Older draftees? Three years or 30 days after college. Prospects like Littler, Hoskin, and Potter now have until August 2028, while 2025 draftees like Leander hit June 2029. Even 2026’s...

Calgary just locked down Simon Nemec on a five-year deal — a former second-overall pick traded mere days before the draft — setting the stage for a potential contract blueprint for young defenseman Zayne Parekh. Both offensive right-shot D-men, born on the same day, share a similar trajectory: Nemec’s slow start gave way to strong production, while Parekh’s second season could be the breakout he n...

Calgary’s defense is loaded with NHL-ready talent, leaving 21-year-old Hunter Brzustewicz in a tough spot. With Simon Nemec, Carson Carels, and Jake Middleton bolstering the roster, Brzustewicz may need to head to the AHL to get consistent top-pairing ice time — a move that could accelerate his development. Trading veteran Zach Whitecloud might open a spot, but his leadership and shutdown skills a...

The Toronto Maple Leafs just pulled off a coaching coup, bringing in Daniel Alfredsson — former Ottawa Senators captain and rival — as an associate coach, alongside John Gruden (Marlies champ, ex-Islanders/Bruins) and rookie Brad Werenka (Calgary Dinos). All three join new head coach Jim Hiller, who’s building a stacked bench with leadership, championship pedigree, and analytics chops — while lett...

Rogers Sports and Media has shut down Sportsnet 960 The Fan, Calgary’s beloved all-sports radio station, as part of a sweeping wave of closures affecting six Canadian stations.
