Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 181 min read

What happened: Luke Philp has signed with the Calgary Wranglers for the 2026-27 AHL season, ending a one-year stint with Sweden's Farjestad BK. The Canmore native returns to the Calgary Flames organization, where he began his professional career with the club's former Stockton-based AHL affiliate.

Why it matters: The move reunites Philp with a Flames organization he already knows, after stops in the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals systems. His return adds a veteran, NHL-experienced centre to Calgary's AHL depth heading into training camp.

By the numbers: Philp reached the NHL during the 2022-23 season, debuting with the Blackhawks. He spent last season overseas with Farjestad BK before this signing.

What to watch: Philp is expected to relocate to Calgary ahead of Wranglers training camp.
