Calgary Flames sign Adam Klapka to two-year contract extension
In just 37 NHL games, Adam Klapka has established himself as one of the most intriguing young players in the Calgary Flames system. Article content On Tuesday, the organization ensured they'll get to see what exactly he can become when they signed him to a two-year contract extension that will pay him US$1.25 million annually. Article content Article content It's a move that could provide excellent value. Article content The 6-foot-8, 235 lb. winger is still only scratching the surface of his potential as an NHLer — or that's the hope, at least. While he's spent most of his time since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2022 with the Calgary Wranglers in the AHL, he established himself as a regular with the Flames in the back-half of the 2024-25 season. Article content Article content In that stretch, the 24-year-old was moved from the fourth line to the Flames' top trio, playing alongside Nazem Kadri and scoring four goals while adding four assists in the team's final 10 games as they fought desperately to book a place in the NHL's post-season dance. Article content That stretch showed that Klapka could translate his AHL success — he's put up 97 points in 158 games with the Wranglers — to the NHL. As a right-shot winger, he fills a need, too, and as a self-described late bloomer, his best should be ahead of him. Article content 'There's more to Adam. The one thing I was worried about when he got on to that top line was, 'Oh, is he going to want to finish checks and do the little things that got him to move up there?' because he does have skill and he's got a nice shot,' said Flames GM Craig Conroy at the end of the season.
