As NHL free agency continues to unfold, three former members of the Calgary Flames have found new opportunities heading into the 2026-27 season.

Veteran winger Victor Olofsson is joining the Vegas Golden Knights after splitting last season between the Colorado Avalanche and the Flames. The 30-year-old appeared in 78 games during the 2025-26 campaign, recording 13 goals and 18 assists for 31 points. He now adds experienced scoring depth to a Golden Knights team with Stanley Cup aspirations.

Forward John Beecher is also on the move, signing a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers. Beecher, 25, suited up for 35 NHL games between the Boston Bruins and Calgary last season, collecting three goals and four assists while providing versatility and size down the middle.

Another fan favourite in Calgary, Justin Kirkland, has also secured a new deal in free agency. The 29-year-old has signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $850,000. Kirkland appeared in 20 games with Calgary during the 2025-26 season, contributing one goal and one assist while earning an opportunity to establish himself at the NHL level.
