Putting Calgary Flames prospect Aydar Suniev’s freshman year into context

On Friday, the University of Massachusetts were eliminated from the Hockey East conference playoff tournament by the powerhouse Boston College squad. Now, UMass may qualify for the NCAA’s national championship tournament as an at-large team, but as we wait to learn their fate it’s a good time to evaluate the freshman season of Calgary Flames prospect Aydar Suniev.

Flames, Sabres meet as playoff hopes almost extinguished

Both the host Calgary Flames and the Buffalo Sabres are riding two-game losing skids but also clinging to the faintest of playoff hopes as they meet Sunday night.

The Sabres (33-33-5, 71 points) sit seven points behind the Detroit Red Wings for the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot, and have been all but done in by their five-game road swing that ends against the Flames. Buffalo opened the trip with a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings and has dropped three of four on the trek.

What will the Calgary Flames blueline group look like in 2024-25?

The Calgary Flames went through some changes over the 2023-24 season, with three opening night defencemen being traded during the campaign and the Flames are regularly dressing a lineup featuring just two holdovers from opening night. As the this season winds down, let’s start looking at the future.
What will the Flames’ blueline look like in 2024-25? Let’s go through the players that are likely to return to the team next season and see how they could fit in.
