Zary is starting his third NHL season. As Rookie he set 14 goals and 20 assists for 34 points in 63 games. According to Natural Stat TrickHe only awarded 2.08 goals for every hour he was on the ice – significantly better than the 2.92 rate of the team without him. An important attacking and defensive contribution, the expectations were high in 2024-25.
For some, a campaign with 13 goals and 14-assisted in 54 games was a step back. He again played solid two -way hockey, but his impact stagnated at his best. The team ended 27one In scored goals, missing the play -offs by a hair.

This three-year-old deal shows that the Flames believe that the 23-year-old has more to give. An above-average Middle Seat attacker at his young age, they are certainly justified in their conviction. Calgary needs Upticks in the offensive production of the line -up, but an important player to pay attention is no. 47.
Zary is already a reliable two-way player on the second line that you can give half a point-per-game production. If he touches his ceiling, a first -line attacker can be the result. Zary would get the increase if this deal is over if that is the case.
