## Resource

Calgary Flames’ youth movement signals a new era, but will Matvei Gridin or Dustin Wolf become the franchise cornerstone? We debate who’s ready to lead Calgary’s rebuild, spotlighting Gridin’s swagger, Wolf’s critical role in net, and the rising potential of Connor Zary, Matt Coronato, and Zayne Parekh. With Gridin’s rapid NHL impact versus higher-drafted teammates, the Flames’ future identity is up for grabs.
