If you take a quick look at the Calgary Flames’ organizational depth chart, a couple things become apparent. The club has a nice bit of depth regarding players currently in their entry-level years, headlined by players like Dustin Wolf and Jakob Pelletier.

Group 6 free agents are players that meet three specific requirements:
- The player is 25 years or older (as of June 30th of the calendar year the contract is expiring).
