The Don Maloney experience with the press has now clearly shed light on the messy situation that is Flames ownership. On November 28, 2025, the Flames announced the extensions of general manager Craig Conroy, president of hockey operations Don Maloney, and assistant general manager's Dave Nonis and Brad Pascal. Noting in the release that these extensions were completed in the offseason.
