According to Elliote Friedman, “hear Connor Zary and the Calgary Flames after an extension of three years with just under $ 3.8 million.” Friedman updated later His report to note that the two parties have completed a deal. The exact AAV was $ 3,775.
Zary is projected as a second -line scoring wing that likes to shoot at a distance, and is also willing to let the net crash and ForeCheck hard. There is a conviction that he could be a player of 50+ points, with his previous high 34 points in 2023-24. Last season he had 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games. Although he has not shown it consistently, he has the top-six potential.
A Bridge deal offers benefits for both parties. The flames keep cost control and time to assess his fit in the long term, while Zary gets flexibility to prove himself before he hopes that a larger payment day is. His first season showed promising, but was interrupted by unfortunate injuries, including a knee-on-knee hit in Anaheim and a fall in Dallas.
By betting on a short -term contract, Zary hopes that a healthy season entails more consistency and will set up an important increase in three years. With the salary limit that is expected to take a considerable leap, it is not a bad game.
