Flames Rebuild, Bad Contracts & Golf | Calgary Flames News

The Flames’ rebuild is on track to hit its stride by 2027-28, with young stars Honzek, Gridin, and Parekh poised to take center stage—if they don’t, the timeline might need adjusting. The team’s current roster offers the perfect balance: enough veteran presence to guide the rookies without stifling their growth. Meanwhile, hockey history remembers Rick DiPietro’s infamous 15-year contract as a cautionary tale—still paying him through 2029 despite injuries and a buyout. Off the ice, Jonathan Huberdeau’s golf game is reportedly elite, and former coach Dan Quinn once won celebrity tournaments on the links. And yes, the new arena will host preseason games in 2027-28—and maybe even concerts—to make sure everything’s hockey-ready before puck drop.
