Calgary Flames News

Weegar signs an 8 X $6.25 million contract with the Flames after being acquired in the offseason as part of the Jonathan Huberdeau and Matthew Tkachuk mega deal. The 28-year-old comes off an 8-goal, 44-point breakout season in 2021-22 fueled by a career-high 23:22 average time-on-ice. He was one of 13 defensemen last season to pass 200 shots (203) finishing ninth in plus/minus (+40) across the entire NHL.

In order to make room for Kadri, the Flames are reportedly trading Sean Monahan to the Montreal Canadiens. Kadri is coming off of a career-best 87 points (28G / 59A) in 71 games with the Avalanche. He added 15 points (7G / 8A) in 16 playoff games, winning the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche.

Frost set career-highs in games played (55), goals (5) and assists (11) with the Flyers in 2022. The RFA gets a one-year deal and will maintain his RFA status next summer. Frost should be a full-time NHLer in 2022-23.

Kirkland was a third-round pick in 2014 but has yet to make his NHL debut since turning pro in 2017. The 25-year-old, who had 48 points (25G / 23A) in 66 games with Stockton (AHL) last year, will likely report to San Diego (AHL) to start 2022-23.

Kadri was hit by Evander Kane on his first shift of Game 3 and did not return to the game. Head coach Jared Bednar said that Kadri will miss the rest of the series, "if not longer." Kane was suspended for one game for the hit.

Lomberg played just 7:39 TOI in Game 1, registering five hits. He will be replaced by Noel Acciari on the Panthers' fourth line.
