Flames Should Offer Sheet Oilers’ Holloway or Broberg

July 4, 2024 by Rupert McDonald

The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers are in about as polar opposite positions as two NHL franchises can be. The Flames are in the early stages of a retool, or what many believe is a full rebuild, while the Oilers are coming off of a Game 7 loss in the Stanley Cup Final and will be every bit as competitive this season.

Flames’ 2024 Free Agent Additions & Subtractions

July 4, 2024 by Derek Olsen

It has been four days of the NHL’s annual free agent frenzy, and there is plenty of buzz surrounding some of the contracts handed out. A grand total of $1.12 billion was handed out on July 1 alone, smashing the previous NHL record for most money spent in a day. The Calgary Flames made some moves of their own in the mayhem: they signed six new players to add to the roster in addition to re-signing star forward Yegor Sharangovich and minor league defender Jonathan Aspirot. General manager Craig Conroy elected to spend his almost $30 million in cap space very wisely, giving out short, affordable contracts that won’t get in the way of his young team’s retooling process. However, as with every season, some players departed the Flames for different opportunities as well. Without further ado, let’s look deeper at each of the recent additions and subtractions of the Flames roster.

The signings are in the past and the next big thing that could happen, if at all, is a trade. Whether it’s a blockbuster deal or a minor move, a deal at this point in the summer would get the hockey juices flowing and everyone wondering what it means for the teams involved.
