FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #9: Tobias Trejbal
For the first time since 2014, the Calgary Flames took the first goaltender off the board at this year’s draft — and unlike last time, when they went against the grain to take Mason McDonald over Thatcher Demko (yikes), the Craig Conroy-led Flames nabbed the top first-year draft-eligible prospect at the position by consensus. In…
Classic Saddledome Moments: The time Matthew Tkachuk drew 14 minutes in penalties off a single hit (January 11, 2020)

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #10: Theo Stockselius
When he was selected by the Calgary Flames in the 2025 NHL Draft, the thought was that Swedish-born centreman Theo Stockselius was a bit physically under-developed due to some medical issues he had a few years back. While he hasn’t quite had the chance to show his full potential quite yet, as his 2025-26 campaign…

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #11: Andrew Basha
Andrew Basha got a half season preview at pro hockey last year with the Calgary Wranglers before finishing off the year with the Medicine Hat Tigers. While the move at the time was probably a tough pill to swallow for the 20 year old forward, it ended up benefiting him much more to play on…

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #12: Chase Harrington
Every contender needs a competent bottom six. The Calgary Flames are still years away from contending, but with the 36th overall pick, they selected Chase Harrington. A Prince George, British Columbia product, Harrington has “bottom six pest” written all over him. Harrington immediately steps in as our 12th-best Flames prospect this season. I personally ranked…

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #13: Tyson Gross
By virtue of his strong junior year at St. Cloud State University, followed by a strong first six NHL games during the 2025-26 stretch drive, Tyson Gross is the only undrafted prospect in our 2026 Calgary Flames prospect rankings. It’s certainly not unheard of for undrafted free-agent signings to work their way up the ranks…

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #15: Mace’o Phillips
The Calgary Flames did a lot with relatively little at the 2025 NHL Draft. Hamstrung from the start by the loss of their own first-round pick, which former GM Brad Treliving traded away three years in advance in a short-sighted deal to clear Sean Monahan’s contract off the books, the Flames — now led by…
Patrik Laine still hasn’t found his fresh start in free agency: Around the NHL
In the wake of his third season as the Calgary Flames’ general manager, Craig Conroy has been quietly efficient.

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #17 Kirill Zarubin

FN’s 2026 Flames summer prospect rankings – #18 (Tied): Eric Jamieson
The Calgary Flames have been stockpiling defenceman since Craig Conroy became general manager in 2023. In addition to adding a few strong young blueliners via trade, they’ve also accumulated a ton via the NHL Draft. It’s easy to get excited about the razzle-dazzle of puck-movers like Zayne Parekh and Hunter Brzustewicz, or the all-around prowess…
