The Calgary Flames have seen a decline after a promising start to the season, leaving them outside of playoff contention. General Manager Craig Conroy faces crucial decisions as the trade deadline approaches, particularly regarding players with expiring contracts like Andre Kuzmenko and Dan Vladar.

Additionally, Rasmus Andersson and Nazim Kadri may attract interest from other teams. Conroy is also considering potential acquisitions to support a retooling effort, particularly seeking a young center.
