Simon Nemec Signs Five-Year, $36.25 Million Deal with Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames have signed defenseman Simon Nemec to a five-year contract worth $36.25 million, carrying a $7.25 million cap hit through the 2030-31 season. Calgary acquired his rights and winger Maxim Tsyplakov from New Jersey last month in exchange for a second-round pick, two conditional first-rounders, and prospect Etienne Morin. The organization views Nemec as a vital, long-term piece of their core defensive rotation and is investing heavily in his continued development.
