The Calgary Flames have signed forward William Stromgren to a three-year, entry-level contract that begins in the 2023-24 season. Drafted 45th overall in the 2021 NHL Draft, Stromgren has also signed an amateur tryout (ATO) so he can join the team’s AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers, in the meantime. The 19-year-old Swede spent the majority of 2022-23 with Brynäs IF of the SHL, where he collected eight point

Count me among the many who would like to see Flames’ 2021 first-round pick Matt Coronato debut as soon as possible. Fans in Calgary have been clamouring to find a spot for Coronato since his sophomore season at Harvard ended last Friday and the conversation has only intensified since he signed an entry-level deal a couple days later.

We’re talking about a right shot, right winger with natural finishing ability. For an offensively challenged team starved for those attributes, the thought of inserting a player fresh off scoring 20 goals in 34 NCAA games this season is exciting. But, to their credit, the Flames are going out of their way to protect Coronato by tempering early expectations. “He’s been to one development camp,” said general manager Brad Treliving on Monday’s edition of Flames Talk on Sportsnet 960. “He ha
