The Athletic has expressed skepticism about the Calgary Flames’ rebuild, ranking them low in power evaluations. In their annual NHL player tiers, only goaltender Dustin Wolf made the list, placed in the Support tier despite being viewed as the team’s MVP. While Wolf’s previous accolades are acknowledged, concerns about his ability to regain his rookie form persist, especially as he plays for the league’s lowest-scoring team. The Flames are focused on internal development, with their success expected to be evaluated later in the decade.
