The trade deadline is behind us, the roster is set, and the Flames are more than 75% of the way through the 2021-22 season. That’s more than enough to hit send on our annual countdown of Calgary’s best value contracts. On the one hand, the top of this list was as easy to compile as it’s ever been. On the other, whittling it down to just five was difficult, because there were multiple players that were just on the outside.
You’ll notice some stark differences from this list compared to last year’s, which speaks mainly to how much better the Flames have been compared to that miserable 56-game campaign.
