Let’s talk about clauses restricting player movement

After a fairly disappointing playoff exit – for the second time in as many seasons – many Calgary Flames fans are calling for big changes. Some want wholesale changes, with the core of the team sent away in trades. But given the desire for change, it’s worth thinking about what players can’t be moved easily.

Let’s talk about the team’s no-trade and no-move clauses.

Four players have active clauses for the 2020-21 league year.

Sean Monahan: Monahan has a 10 team no-trade clause on his deal, meaning for this season there are 20 teams the Flames can trade him to without him nixing the deal.
