The offseason has begun for non-playoff teams, including the Calgary Flames, who exceeded low expectations this season but still face challenges. General Manager Craig Conroy’s checklist includes finding a backup goalie, as current option Daniel Vladar may leave in free agency, with potential replacements like Jake Allen and Ilya Samsonov available. Additionally, the Flames will look to extend Dustin Wolf, who had a strong season but has limited NHL experience, leading to possible medium- or long-term contract negotiations as they aim to secure their future goaltending.
