Summary
The Calgary Flames are reshaping their leadership for the 2026-27 season, with only Mikael Backlund returning as captain after a wave of departures including Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, Nazem Kadri, and Blake Coleman. New faces like Joel Farabee, Kevin Bahl, and Zach Whitecloud stepped into alternate captain roles last year, and with Jonathan Huberdeau potentially returning post-surgery, the team could have four seasoned leaders. But with a young roster, they may also bring in veteran mentors like Ryan Strome and Jacob Middleton to guide the next generation — setting the stage for a leadership evolution that could make or break their season.
