Calgary Flames: Ten free agents they should target at Free Agency
By Ramina Shlah
With Free Agency approaching tomorrow, we’ve gathered a list of ten free agents the Calgary Flames should try to target.
Free agency is one of the craziest days in the off-season. It’s almost my favourite day but only because of Jarome Iginla‘s birthday. Otherwise, it’s quite a busy day in the NHL. Busy/anxiety-ridden, potato/potahtoe. But for the Calgary Flames, they’ve already made some moves.
On the second day of the draft, the Flames traded away D Dougie Hamilton, F Micheal Ferland, and prospect Adam Fox (I’m still crying, thanks) for D Noah Hanifin and F Elias Lindholm. With GM Brad Treliving already making a move at the blue-line, I’m not sure if he’s still planning on making more moves when it comes to defence.
I originally had Michal Kempny on this list as a possible defence option before the trade. But then he re-signed with the Washington Capitals. And instead of replacing him with another defenceman, I decided not to include any defencemen (in case you were wondering why there were none on this list).
