It goes without saying that the Calgary Flames are pretty fond of 2020 first round selection Connor Zary. And the 24th player selected in October’s draft is pretty excited to be a Flame someday. While Zary’s camp is closing in on cementing his entry level deal with the club, we’re told it likely won’t be inked until 2021.
When Zary signs ends up having some implications for both him and the Flames moving forward.
Based on Zary’s draft placement, we more or less know what his ELC will look like. He’ll get a three year deal with a $925,000 cap hit (including the maximum signing bonus of $92,500 per season) and likely no performance bonuses.
