Flames Sign Forward Jonathan Castagna to Three-Year, Entry-Level Contract
The 20-year-old Toronto native joins the Calgary Wranglers on a tryout and will add depth to the Flames starting 2026-27 with a $1.075 million average annual value contract.
- On Monday, the Calgary Flames signed forward Jonathan Castagna to a three-year, entry-level contract beginning in the 2026-27 season. The 20-year-old Toronto native joins the organization with an average annual value of $1.075 million.
- Calgary acquired Castagna on March 4 as part of a trade sending defenceman MacKenzie Weegar to the Mammoth, a move designed to strengthen organizational depth down the middle.
- Castagna recorded 15 goals and 19 assists in 34 games for Cornell University this season, earning a unanimous spot on the All-Ivy League first team and being named the ECAC's Best Defensive Forward.
- Although signed long-term, Castagna will report to the American Hockey League's Calgary Wranglers on a professional tryout contract for the remainder of this season while managing a day-to-day lower-body injury.
- Flames director of player development Ray Edwards praised Castagna as a "200-foot player," saying, "He's probably as pro-ready as they come because he plays the right way." Edwards highlighted the centre's faceoff ability and intelligence.
