The Story in 60 Seconds

Matt Herron of The Win Column argues that the Calgary Flames should consider buying out forward Yegor Sharangovich if they cannot trade him or mutually terminate his contract. After signing a five-year, $28.75 million contract extension with an average annual value of $5.75 million following a career-best 31-goal season in 2023–24, Sharangovich's production has significantly declined to 32 goals across 151 games.

Herron writes that younger players like Matvei Gridin, Matt Coronato, and Joel Farabee have pushed Sharangovich down the lineup. The article notes that while an NHL buyout cannot take place during the regular season, the Flames could potentially execute one in June 2027.
