The Calgary Flames kicked off the NHL free agency period on Monday by signing forward Yegor Sharangovich to a five-year contract extension.
Sharangovich’s agent, Dan Milstein, announced the five-year, $5.75 million AAV deal on social media on Monday morning.
The 26-year-old Belarusian had a career year with the Flames in 2023-24, leading the team with 31 goals, and finishing the year with 59 points in 82 games.
The Flames also signed goalie Devin Cooley to a two-year deal, according to Milstein.
Before the free agency period, the Flames sent qualifying offers to seven of their restricted free agents, including forwards Adam Klapka, Jakob Pelletier and Cole Schwindt; defencemen Yan Kuznetsov, Nikita Okhotiuk and Ilya Solovyov; and goalie Dustin Wolf.
By issuing the qualifying offer, the team is given the right of first refusal or draft pick compensation if the player signs an offer sheet with another team.
