Keys to the offseason for the Calgary Flames
Ryan S. Clarke and Kristen Shelton of ESPN: the keys to the offseason for the Calgary Flames.
Projected cap space: $19 million
2026 draft picks: 1st, 1st (VGK), 2nd, 2nd (NYR), 2nd (UTA), 2nd (OTT), third, third (VAN), 4th, fifth, sixth
The Flames will have a look at a few of their veteran players and see where they fit going forward. Forward Jonathan Huberdeau has only hit 60 points in one in all his 4 seasons with the Flames, and he has 4 years left at a $10.5 million cap hit.
Blake Coleman, Morgan Frost, and Ryan Strome are all entering the ultimate yr of their contract. Strome is the most costly of that group, and he’s only at $5 million. They might have a look at getting some more future assets, draft picks or prospects, one or all.
The Boston Bruins Will Need Scoring Help Regardless
Could the Oilers send Tristan Jarry to the AHL, areas of need, and a few pending UFAs who could possibly be back
The Fourth Period: The Edmonton Oilers management shall be looking this offseason at how you can get them back to serious contenders next yr. They’ll have around $16.5 million in projected cap space to accomplish that.
David Pagnotta wondered on the weekend on the Hello Hockey podcast about sending Tristan Jarry to the AHL and freeing up $1.225 million as opposed to purchasing him out, which might create less cap space.
They’ll must make decisions on pending UFAs goalie Connor Ingram, defenceman Connor Murphy, and forwards Adam Henrique, Jason Dickinson, Jack Roslovic, Kasperi Kapanen, Max Jones and Curtis Lazar. The Oilers are expected to have a look at re-signing Ingram, Dickinson and Murphy.
Is the Window Closing to Keep Connor McDavid in Edmonton?
The Oilers might want to work out their goaltending this offseason, and address their bottom-six/third-line center. Dickinson would fill the third-line center in the event that they re-sign him. They might also use a top-six winger, and a rugged, defensive-minded defenseman.
They’ll also must make a call on head coach Kris Knoblauch.
