Show Notes
The Calgary Flames, currently in the bottom fourth of the NHL standings, have nine games left in their 2025-2026 season, all but a few on the road against tough opponents. Management is focusing on rebuilding, trading veterans like Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, and Nazem Kadri for draft picks and prospects. Blake Coleman may also be traded this summer. Mikael Backlund will remain captain for at least two more seasons, with potential successors including Kevin Bahl, Joel Farabee, or Zach Whitecloud. The team is not planning to re-sign Ryan Lomberg, Jake Bean, or Olofsson, and will not offer extensions to Morgan Frost, Coleman, or Strome. The Flames are learning from teams like Dallas and Montreal, who have successfully rebuilt through patient drafting and strategic trades.
