NHL hockey is only a month away, and the C of Red has some cause to celebrate as the Flames sign some long-term contracts for the Flames’ Connor Zary and Dustin Wolf.
Last week, on September 6, the Flames announced they had re-signed Connor Zary for a three-year contract extension as the 23-year-old forward played 54 games in the 2024/25 NHL season and accomplished 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points.
On September 9, the Flames announced that a deal signed between the Calgary Flames and their Rookie Goalie, Dustin Wolf, was for a whopping $52.5 million for the next seven years, giving the 29-year-old goalie eight more years with the Flames.
Wolf says that not having to worry about re-signing a contract for the next eight years allows him to focus on supporting his team.
Wolf’s 2024/25 rookie year in the NHL saw the goalie rank 11th overall while posting a .910 percentage and 2.64 goals against average by the end of the regular season. During the voting for the Calder Memorial Trophy, Wolf placed second overall, which was 663 votes behind Lane Hutson of the Montreal Canadians.
With the deals signed, the Flames’ coaching staff and players can get ready for the 2025/26 season, which is something General Manager Craig Conroy says will help the players not worry about, so they can focus on the game.
The Flames will have their first home game on October 8 against their rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
