Flames sign NCAA free agent Carter King (1 year ELC)
https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/ho...medium=twitter
Quote:
Carter King
Forward, Denver
Scoop: He may well be King of the Class of undrafted free agents for 2025. The two-time NCAA national champion at Denver is also team captain. King checks so many boxes – and what he might lack in size (5-foot-10), he makes up for in compete, character and class. King is a consistent scorer, setting a new career-high in goals (18) at Denver, where he’s also been nominated for NCHC defensive forward of the year. It sounds like the Calgary Flames are one team interested in the Calgary kid. He’s already 23, so he could only sign a one-year, entry-level deal.

I'm not sure. I've heard his Dad can be an issue.... 
Could be a really solid pick-up of a hometown kid

That would be pretty cool if it comes to fruition. Regardless if it's the Flames or someone else, I hope he finds a way to get a nice little NHL career out of this. One advantage the Flames have is that whether it's AHL or NHL the player can kind of plan to be in the same city for the year barring a trade or ending up in the ECHL.
Good luck Tacoman and his family. Hopefully you get to see your boy play in Calgary and with the Flames sooner than later.

there has been a ton of college free agent tweets and articles in the last 24 hrs. No surprise as the Conference playoffs have begun, and more teams will be eliminated this weekend. This is the start of College UFA signing season.
#
Denver is #9 in the Pairwise, so they will be playing in the Regionals which starts March 27th. If they advance to the Frozen Four, they will be playing until April 10th or 12th.

Jeez. This seems like bad luck to even be talking about this right now. Only thing the kid cares about is playoffs and I honestly don't know what team he'll choose when they're over. As a Flames fan, all I know is that the kid wins faceoffs which would be nice. I think he has 100 more faceoff wins than anybody else in his conference. Maybe there's a modern day Stephane Yelle in there someowhere but a long road to get to that.

I guess I'll ask since everyone else is either too shy to ask or already knows. Who's Carter King's Dad?

Would love to see him here in Calgary, but at the very least — friends don't let friends sign with the Oilers.
