12 different rookies played for the Flames in 2025-26 Pals, it’s safe to say that the Calgary Flames have been moving towards getting younger since Craig Conroy became general manager in May 2023. Want some evidence that’s happening? Well, look at the list of established players that have been sent elsewhere: Tyler Toffoli, Nikita Zadorov, Elias Lindholm, Chris Tanev, Noah Hanifin, Jacob Markstrom, Andrew…

FN Draft Profiles: Could Adam Novotny be the Flames’ ideal second, first-round pick? It’s such a luxury for the Calgary Flames to have two first-round draft picks this year. With the majority of the focus surrounding the higher of the two picks, the second pick probably hasn’t had the consideration it deserves. Holding Vegas’ unprotected first-round pick, the Flames were looking to benefit from a somewhat down year…

The Flames’ penalty killing was quietly quite good in 2025-26 The Calgary Flames did not have a good power play in 2025-26. But man, after a bit of a lull in 2024-25, they returned to being a team with a reliably effective penalty kill in 2025-26. Sure, they had the benefit of a few strong incumbent killers in the form of Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman….

FN Draft Profiles: Keaton Verhoeff can take the Flames’ defence core to the next level It’s guaranteed that the Calgary Flames will have a top six pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. They’ve finished with the fourth-lowest record in the league’s overall standings, meaning pretty solid odds to land their highest-overall pick in franchise history. The highest they’ve ever picked was fourth in 2014, selecting Sam Bennett. One player who’ll…

The Flames’ power play struggled to produce in 2025-26 Pals, it’s not a secret that the 2025-26 edition of the Calgary Flames lacked high-end, elite offensive skill. That’s not meant as a slight or an insult. Heck, it’s something that head coach Ryan Huska alluded to when discussing his team’s lack of a player with more than 45 points. So in the context of…

FN Draft Profiles: Liam Ruck’s hockey IQ could help a young Flames team Liam Ruck is projected to be drafted in the late first-round or early second-round in the 2026 NHL Draft.

But let’s look at what else Ruck could bring to the Flames…

FN Draft Profiles: Tynan Lawrence could be the perfect draft pick if the Flames don’t pick in the top four The Calgary Flames need to hit a home run at the upcoming draft if they want to bring their rebuild to a close. While you’d ideally like to be picking in the top three, a pick that high is no guarantee at this point. The Flames have been playing well recently, and a pick in…

Flames prospect Andrew Basha and the Medicine Hat Tigers advance to the WHL’s Eastern Conference Final The last two seasons have been a bit odd for Calgary Flames prospect Andrew Basha.

But he was dealing with a lingering ankle injury as he played for the Western League’s Medicine Hat Tigers, which…
