Flames Re-Sign Joel Hanley | Calgary Flames Veteran blueliner stays in Calgary on a two-year deal

JULY 1, 2025 • NHL.COM

Signs two-year deal Hanley put pen to paper on a two-year, $3.5 million contract with Calgary on Tuesday.

Hanley doesn't offer enough in terms of PIM or hits to give him much in the way of fantasy value outside the deepest of formats.

Impact Hanley has been playing as a complement to Mackenzie Weegar on Calgary's top defensive pair, but the offensive production has not been there.
