Dustin Wolf's seven-year, $52.5M extension with Calgary signals a firm vote of confidence in the Flames’ future in net. The 24-year-old posted 53 games last season with a 29-16-8 record, 2.64 GAA and .910 save, earning Calder Trophy runner-up and All-Rookie honors; Calgary aims for stability behind him as they chase playoff relevance.

His omission from the Olympic orientation camp aside, Wolf sits at the center of Calgary’s long-term plans, a benchmark against which peers like Hellebuyck set the standard in the goalie market. The deal starts in 2026-27, anchoring a Flames squad navigating a crowded landscape for keeper-category fantasy value.
