In the past few years, the Calgary Flames have been led by Mikael Backlund, and in 2026/27, as he approaches the Flames franchise record for games played, he'll once again be the captain of the franchise.
In the last two years, the team have had many people wear the 'A' such as Jonathan Huberdeau, Blake Coleman, Mackenzie Weegar, Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson, but now, just one of those players remain. What that means is the leadership group will look very different in 2026/27, and while the team remains very young and will likely get even younger, there's still some veterans that can lead this team into the future.
So, wo could play a key role in the Flames leadership group, who will miss out and who are players to keep an eye on for the future? Let's take a look.
