Flames Sign Prospect Jonathan Castagna to Three-Year Entry-Level Deal

The Cornell standout will report to the AHL Wranglers on a tryout to support Calgary’s push to rebuild center depth.

Overview

  • Castagna, who signed Monday, agreed to a three-year entry-level NHL contract that starts in 2026–27.
  • He will join the AHL Calgary Wranglers on a tryout for the rest of this season and is listed day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
  • Calgary acquired the 6-foot-2 center from the Utah Mammoth on Mar. 4 in the MacKenzie Weegar trade.
  • At Cornell this season he posted 15 goals and 34 points in 34 games and earned All-Ivy honors and the ECAC’s Best Defensive Forward award.
  • The move fits a recent pattern of Calgary adding college centers, following the March signing of St. Cloud State product Tyson Gross.
