## Resource

Calgary Flames signal a bold commitment to roster transformation as rumors swirl around a potential Connor Zary trade ahead of the NHL Draft. Could moving Zary for draft capital launch the next era for the Flames, or will his departure come back to haunt them? We analyze Zary’s fluctuating value, injury concerns, and how trading him could reshape Calgary’s approach to securing top-20 draft talent like Viggo Björck.
