The Calgary Flames face a pivotal off-season as they have 20 pending free agents, including key players like Tyler Toffoli and Noah Hanifin. With such a significant portion of the roster poised to enter free agency, the management has tough decisions ahead regarding which players to retain for the upcoming season.

Tyler Toffoli has become a fan favorite, showcasing his scoring touch and playmaking abilities.

This period will not only dictate the future of these players but also shape the Flames' competitive outlook in the NHL. Understanding the dynamics of player negotiations and re-signing processes will be key for Flames fans to follow in the upcoming weeks.
