Foo Fighting for Flames Forward Spot
Spencer Foo was the talk of the town in Calgary towards the tail-end of the 2017-18 NHL season. A bidding war had erupted earlier for the Union College prospect, with both the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames in the mix. While many expected the Oilers to snatch the hometown kid, it was ultimately Calgary who won the day. Perhaps Foo, from St. Albert, Alta. was hoping to emulate similar success from another (recently retired) St. Albert product who etched his name into Calgary Flames lore wearing the 'C' for the flaming C's for so many years. Foo was a finalist for the Hobey Baker award in 2017, so a familiarity of fraternity with fellow Hobey Baker finalist (and 2014 winner) Johnny Gaudreau may have added an off-hand allure to Foo's decision to join the Flames, as well. A Solid Audition for Foo In any case, it's safe to say the NHL audition was a successful one for the 24-year-old, as he was able to contribute almost immediately. The 6-foot, 190-pound forward appeared in...

Projecting Flames 2018-19 Opening Night Roster: Goalies & Defense
The Calgary Flames had high hopes for the 2017-18 season after loading up the prior summer with high-price talent. Unfortunately their season disappointed, and that disappointment has led to another busy summer for general manager Brad Treliving. Expectations remain sky-high in southern Alberta, but the margin for error has become quite thin for the current management group. After some shaky defensive play throughout last season and some inconsistent goaltending down the stretch, the Flames will need more from their back end group to succeed in 2018-19. Here's our projections for how the Flames roster shakes out in the crease and on the blueline heading into training camp. The Projected Goalies Mike Smith David Rittich The 2018-19 Flames will arguably be made or broken by their goaltenders, much as they were throughout the prior season. The 2017-18 Flames were initially held together through some very shaky early performances by a series of stellar efforts...

NHL News & Notes: Ty Smith, Shinkaruk Trade & More
In today's News & Notes, the New Jersey Devils have signed their 2018 first-round pick Ty Smith to a three-year entry-level contract, the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames made a trade and the New York Rangers have signed Dustin Tokarski to a one-year contract and the NHL Network has released their top-20 NHL winger list (which has already created a debate). Devils Sign Smith The Devils have come to terms with Smith, their first-round pick in 2018, to a three-year entry-level contract, the team announced Monday. Smith was excellent in his second season with the Spokane Chiefs in the WHL in 2017-18, setting career-highs in just about every category with an impressive 14 goals, 59 assists, 73 points and 30 penalty minutes. While plus/minus is an increasingly useless statistic, his plus-44 rating in 69 games was also a career-high. Not only did Smith set career-highs in his draft season but his assist and point totals were also the second-highest among defenders int...Flames Archives
