The Calgary Flames have officially signed restricted free agent Jakob Pelletier to a one-year contract worth $0.800 million. Drafted 26th overall in 2019, Pelletier faces a crucial season ahead as he attempts to secure his spot in the NHL after playing just 37 games and scoring 10 points over the past two seasons.

At 23 years old and now eligible for waivers, this could be a pivotal moment for Pelletier. With changes in the Flames organization and his current health, he is positioned to make a significant impact. The Flames' recent roster shifts may provide him with the necessary opportunity to solidify his role going into the 2024-25 season.
