"If the Flames want to be buyers and try to go all-in on a playoff push, they do have the means to try and make it work. According to PuckPedia, the Calgary Flames are currently sitting on nearly $10 million in cap space, making a move for a veteran piece extremely plausible. In this case, teams like the Winnipeg Jets could be potential trade targets."
"One Winnipeg Jet that Calgary could target is Luke Schenn. Not only is he entering unrestricted free agency in 2026, but he also expressed an openness to being traded from the Winnipeg Jets. While Calgary might not be atop his list of preferred teams should he truly desire a trade to a contender, the Flames do have the ability to make a trade work."
Calgary entered January 8 with an 18-21-4 record, 40 points, seventh in the Pacific Division, and three points ahead of Vancouver. The Flames sit six points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final Western Conference playoff spot and have lost each of their last three games in regulation. Teams will be unable to make trades during the Olympic break and face a two-week span between the Olympics and the March 6 trade deadline. Calgary holds nearly $10 million in cap space, making veteran acquisitions feasible. The Winnipeg Jets, ten points out and at the bottom of the NHL, could sell players like Luke Schenn, who indicated openness to a trade and becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
