## Resource

The Calgary Flames are in the thick of a rebuild, having traded away stars like Jarome Iginla back in 2013 and weathered years of playoff hopes dashed by free-agent signings and draft-pick trades. With Craig Conroy now at the helm since May 2023, the team has aggressively shed veterans for prospects and future assets—trading away MacKenzie Weegar and Nazem Kadri to build a younger core. After years of accumulating draft capital, they’ve landed key prospects like Simon Nemec and stocked up on college free agents. As the 2026-27 season looms, the Flames are waiting to see if their young talent can break through—or if a superstar emerges from this rebuilding cycle to turn things around.
