Calgary Flames
The future is Dustin Wolf, who's delivered Vezina-caliber goaltending behind a thin roster, and 21-year-old Zayne Parekh, the slick-skating right-shot defenseman now getting real NHL runway alongside fellow young pieces Connor Zary, Matvei Gridin, Cullen Potter, and Cole Reschny. Conroy's six-trade deadline fire sale shipped out Andersson, Kadri, and other vets for an avalanche of picks, killing the "retool" pretense and stockpiling eight second-rounders and two firsts over the next three years. Finishing as the league's lowest-scoring team and missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year is the cost of admission, but the Saddledome's farewell season sets up a clean reset into Scotia Place.
