The Calgary Flames are looking ahead to the 2025-26 season, anticipating potential contract slides for several players. Among those at risk are prospect Yegor Sharangovich, who has shown glimpses of his potential but remains unestablished. Another name is Matthew Phillips, whose performance in the AHL could influence his contract situation with the Flames.

With the Flames balancing a competitive roster and potential salary cap constraints, the future of contracts is a crucial discussion. Prospects like Connor Zary, who are developing their game, may need to solidify their positions in the coming years to avoid sliding into difficult contracts as they progress through their careers.

The Flames' management is also considering other rising players and their potential impact on the roster. Navigating these contracts carefully will be key for the Flames to maintain financial flexibility while fostering the next wave of talent within the organization.
