The Calgary Flames made zero good trades prior to the 2025 NHL trade deadline. They also made zero bad trades prior to the deadline. Zero players, picks or prospects went out the door, and zero came back into the organization.
For the first time since 2012, the Flames made zero moves in the seven days prior to the trade deadline. Heck, the Flames’ last – and only – significant move was their trade with the Philadelphia Flyers that brought Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee into the fold in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick. That trade was completed at the end of January.
We canvassed Flames fans on social media regarding their reaction to the Flames standing pat. The reaction was definitively mixed.

Some fans were upset at the lack of moves

Some fans were happy that the Flames didn’t do much

Some fan reactions were decidedly in the middle

How do you feel about the Flames’ quiet deadline? Let us know in the comments!
