Calgary Flames Sign Dustin Wolf To Seven-Year $52.5M Extension

The Calgary Flames have signed goaltender Dustin Wolf to a seven-year, $52.5 million contract extension that will commence in the 2026-27 season after he completes his entry-level deal. Wolf, 24, was a finalist for the Calder Trophy in the 2024-25 season and has quickly become a key player for the Flames, recording a 29-16-8 record with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage last season. The contract, with an average annual value of $7.5 million, is notable for its length and value, making it one of the most significant deals for a goalie with Wolf's limited NHL experience of 71 games. Flames fans have reacted enthusiastically, viewing the extension as a franchise-defining move, while some acknowledge the risk of committing heavily to a young goaltender early in his career. Wolf expressed a strong desire to stay with Calgary long-term, and the organization has clearly designated him as their goaltender of the future. The move also follows the departure of veteran Dan Vladar and the signing of new backup candidates.
