The 2024–25 Calgary Flames season is their 45th season in Calgary, and their 53rd season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 6, 1972.[1] This season was overshadowed because their star player Johnny Gaudreau, who, along with his brother Matthew, were killed while riding their bikes on August 29, 2024, after being hit from behind by a suspected drunk driver. The team is expected to dedicate the season in his memory.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The Vancouver Canucks' first-round pick went to the Calgary Flames as the result of a trade on January 31, 2024, that sent Elias Lindholm to Vancouver in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024 and this pick.[69]
  2. ^ The Dallas Stars' second-round pick went to the Flames as the result of a trade on February 28, 2024, that sent Christopher Tanev to Dallas in exchange for Artem Grushnikov, a conditional third-round pick in 2026 and this pick.[70]
