2 Calgary Flames Named Prime Trade Candidates
The Calgary Flames are likely going to finish dead last in the NHL this season, and general manager Craig Conroy is tasked with another fire sale. There's certainly multiple trade assets to consider for the Flames, as Daily Faceoff's Mike Gould recently mentioned to keep an eye on a couple Flames. Gould lists Morgan Frost and Zach Whitecloud as the two players most likely to be dealt this season. Frost is a pending unrestricted free agent, who is certainly going to be appealing to contending teams, looking for some more depth down the middle of their middle-six. Frost has already been linked to the Montreal Canadiens and San Jose Sharks, so it will be interesting to see what the Flames can get for his services. Frost has posted two goals and in six games this season, and is owed $4.3 million AAV. He also has an eight-team no-trade clause on his contract. The other prime candidate is Whitecloud, a rugged defenceman, who plays an in-your-face, stay-at-home type of physical game. Whitecloud is a great penalty killer, he doesn't mind sacrificing his body blocking shots, and he's been on the radar of a few teams already this season, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. Whitecloud is under contract through next season at $2.7 million, and doesn't own any trade protection. Here's what Gould mentioned via Daily Faceoff: Their most coveted player might be Zach Whitecloud, who has become a highly sought-after veteran around the league in less than a calendar year after essentially being a throw-in to make the Andersson trade work. Whitecloud is immensely popular in the Calgary community and is signed for another season after this one, so there’s no urgency for the Flames to move him if the offers don’t meet a certain standard....Frost would make a lot of sense as a third-line center and power-play weapon for a contender. Considering how shallow the current center market is, Frost could conceivably fetch a pretty hefty return for the Flames.

Raty will be in perfect position to fight for a depth role with the Maple Leafs, as they have some openings currently on their fourth-line. Raty has appeared in 118 career NHL games since being drafted in 2021, including a short-stint with the New York Islanders, before joining the Canucks back in 2023. Raty's best season came last season, when he dressed in a career high 66 games, and posted four goals, and 14 points. Raty's showed at the AHL level he's elite, using his speed, skill, and 6-foot-2 frame, but he hasn't been given a ton of minutes to showcase what he can do at the NHL level. Aatu Raty, acquired by TOR, is a depth centre. https://t.co/Gn4J98jKyf JFresh (@JFreshHockey) October 15, 2026 Quillan, 24, showed well for the Maple Leafs last season as a spot-fill fourth-line center, and had a huge part in the Toronto Marlies Calder Cup championship last season. Quillan has 24 games of NHL experience under his belt, including one goal and two assists. Buhr, 24, is from North Vancouver, and is heading home. Buhr's an undrafted forward, who has dressed in five games for the Marlies this season, chipping in with two assists. Buhr posted 36 points in 35 college games last season. 🚨 Trade To #Leafs Aatu Raty 23 y/o F, Yr 2/2 $850K - RFA To #Canucks Jacob Quillan 24 y/o F, Yr 1/1 $850K - UFA G6 Brandon Buhr 24 y/o F, Yr 1/1 $975K - RFA TOR adds $850K net cap hit.
