Flames Acquire Strome, Strengthen Young Lineup

0:00On March 6th, here's the latest surrounding the Calgary Flames. The Calgary Flames made a quiet move on trade deadline day, grabbing forward Ryan Strom from the Anaheim Ducks. In exchange, they sent over just a 2027 7th round draft pick. Strom is a 32 year old, right shooting forward from Ontario. He's in the fourth year of a 5 year contract with a $5 million cap hit, which wraps up after next season. He wore an A as alternate captain for the Ducks this year. The Flames have shipped out veterans like Mackenzie Weigar and Rasmus Anderson lately. They are shifting to a younger lineup, but bringing in Strom gives them a steady hand to guide the rookies through heavy minutes. This deal came cheap, since 7th round picks rarely pan out. Calgary still has tons of draft capital and plenty of cap room, making it a smart, low risk bet on a proven player. We will keep an eye on how Strom settles in, and any other Flames moves as the deadline dust settles. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
