In this edition of Calgary Flames News & Rumours, general manager (GM) Craig Conroy is said to have interest in Boston Bruins defenceman Brandon Carlo. In other news, Yegor Sharangovich sat as a healthy scratch during Saturday’s game versus the Carolina Hurricanes. Meanwhile, the Flames are reportedly looking to trade defenceman Daniil Miromanov. Last but not least, prospect Zayne Parekh recently matched a Bobby Orr milestone.
Flames Interested in Carlo
Yesterday, Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco reported that Conroy has reached out to the Bruins regarding defenceman Brandon Carlo. The 28-year-old carries a $4.1 million cap hit through the 2026-27 season.
“Sounds like the Flames have reached out on Bruins defenceman Brandon Carlo,” Di Marco wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Teams have yet to dive into details, but Calgary is interested.”
Carlo is a right-shot defenceman who stands at a hulking 6-foot-5, 220 pounds. Despite his size, he doesn’t provide a ton of physicality, but is able to get into lanes and break up plays thanks to his long reach. In 64 games this season, he’s registered a goal and nine points while averaging slightly less than 19 minutes in ice time.
Struggling Sharangovich Healthy Scratched
The Flames appeared to strike gold after acquiring Yegor Sharangovich from the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 2023-24 season. Despite his inconsistencies with the Devils, Sharangovich was viewed as a highly-skilled forward who may thrive with a change in scenery. That appeared to be the case, as he scored 31 goals and tallied 59 points in his first season with the Flames.

The big season earned Sharangovich a five-year, $28.75 million deal. It was one that Flames fans were quite happy about at the time, but are starting to wish didn’t take place. The 26-year-old has struggled immensely with 11 goals and 22 points through 52 outings, and it’s clear head coach Ryan Huska is growing frustrated.
Huska chose to sit Sharangovich as a healthy scratch versus the Hurricanes on Sunday in a move that got plenty talkin but was felt to be the right decision. Sharangovich has failed to make an impact this season and needs to pick up his game in a big way to justify his lucrative extension which doesn’t kick in until 2025-26.
