Flames sign Aydar Suniev to three-year, entry-level contract

The Calgary Flames have locked down scoring forward Aydar Suniev.

Calgary announced Wednesday that it signed the left-shot winger to a three-year, entry-level deal with an $923,333 average annual value.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that Suniev will report to the Flames, burning the first year of his deal this season.

Suniev, 20, was drafted by the Flames in the third round of the 2023 NHL Draft. He spent the last two seasons playing with the University of Massachusetts. In 2024-25, he scored 20 goals and totalled 38 points over 35 games.

UMass was eliminated from the NCAA Hockey Championship tournament in a 2-1 loss to Western Michigan University on Saturday.

Before heading to the college ranks, the Russian-born Suniev played two seasons with the British Columbia Hockey League’s Penticton Vees.
