Kevin Bahl has solidified his future with the Calgary Flames, signing a six-year contract worth $32.1 million. The 25-year-old defenseman, who just celebrated his birthday, is coming off a productive season where he tallied 20 points with three goals and 17 assists in 73 games. Bahl's impressive average of 21:23 in ice time demonstrates his value on the blue line, especially in his first year with the Flames after being traded from the New Jersey Devils alongside a first-round pick for goaltender Jacob Markstrom.

In his career, Bahl has accumulated 45 points over 221 games played. His sizeable frame at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds has made him a formidable presence on the ice. This contract extension not only showcases Calgary's belief in Bahl’s potential but also affirms their intent to build a strong defensive core moving forward.
