How much money every Calgary Flames player is making in 2025-26

The Calgary Flames are about to enter their third consecutive season with plenty of open cap space.

Rather than spend to the cap, as the Flames had done in the past, GM Craig Conroy has emphasized cap flexibility. This plan has allowed young players such as Matt Coronato, Connor Zary, and Dustin Wolf to find their footing in the NHL, as the organization has undertaken a retooling effort to improve its prospects.

Overall, the Flames don’t have many players commanding large salaries, especially when compared to some of the biggest contracts in the NHL. That said, they have some players set to make great money this season.

Now, it’s important to note that players like Gridin and Honzek, who remain on their entry-level deals, would be paid far less if they were to get reassigned to the AHL. Gridin would make $85,000 in the AHL, while Honzek would earn $82,500.

Both Gridin and Parekh were able to crack the Flames’ opening-day roster, while Honzek was recalled from the Calgary Wranglers due to Jonathan Huberdeau and Martin Pospisil beginning the season on injured reserve.

Also of note is that, although Dustin Wolf recently agreed to a seven-year, $52.5-million extension, the contract won’t take effect until the 2026-27 season, meaning he has one year remaining on a great-value deal. The same goes for Martin Pospisil, who signed a three-year extension this past summer that will also kick in for the 2026-27 campaign.
