Summary

Calgary Flames lock in Simon Nemec with a five-year extension, betting big on his potential and raising the stakes for the next wave of young stars like Zayne Parekh and Matvei Gridin. Does this set a new precedent for promising defensemen, or will short-term deals become the new norm as players seize more control over their futures? Shane Wright's uncertain situation and the Flames' deep draft capital prompt debate: should Calgary pursue a high-upside reclamation project, or wait on the stacked 2027 prospect class?
