The Flames are fighting for a playoff spot, but their plan heading into the Trade Deadline hasn't changed.
"They've done a great job as a group, and as much as you'd love to reward them, it has to be a part of the plan," general manager Craig Conroy told Sportsnet on Friday.
Calgary (28-22-8) is one point behind the Vancouver Canucks for the second wild card into the playoffs from the Western Conference entering its game against the Florida Panthers on Saturday (3 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, SN).
"You're always looking to improve the team, but it's got to make sense," Conroy said. "If it's a younger player, and we have them under control, or even maybe a 26-year-old that you're (going to) have control of, it might make more sense."
Conroy said the Flames would be in the market for a left-handed defenseman, but otherwise they're not likely to make a big splash. Calgary acquired forwards Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee from the Philadelphia Flyers for forwards Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a seventh-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft on Jan. 30.
