## Resource

The Calgary Flames are poised to keep their top forward trio intact as they head into the season, with Matvei Gridin, Morgan Frost, and Matt Coronato expected to carry the offensive load. Coach Ryan Huska plans to stabilize lines but won’t hesitate to make changes if needed—especially for younger players finding their rhythm. Offensively, they’re projected to stay roughly even with last year’s output, but a tighter defense could shift their playoff chances. Tryout contracts like Nylander’s are likely limited, serving more as developmental tools than roster additions. Meanwhile, deals for young talents like Zeev Buium signal a strategic approach to future salary cap management, with Simon Nemec’s contract offering a useful benchmark.
