2025 Fantasy Outlook
A pair of knee injuries resulted in a shorter 2024-25 campaign than expected for Zary, with the latter of those injuries ending his season prematurely. He put up 27 points in 54 games when healthy, taking a small step back from his 34-point effort over 63 games the year before. Zary is still a talented young forward, but the Flames' struggles on offense last year left little room for depth players to make a sizable fantasy impact. Entering his age-24 season, it's expected he'll be a top-six option when healthy, as well as a regular presence on the power play, where he earned nine of his 27 points last season. Zary could be a sleeper option for fantasy managers this fall, though any improvements the Flames make to their roster could result in it being tougher for him to claim sufficient playing time.

Signed a three-year, $11.325 million contract with the Flames in September of 2025.
Cleared for camp
General manager Craig Conroy said all of the Flames' players are healthy for Thursday's first practice at training camp, indicating Zary (knee) has recovered from his injury, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
ANALYSIS
Zary signed a three-year deal in September as a restricted free agent. The 23-year-old had 27 points in 54 contests in his second NHL campaign, a small step back from his 34-point rookie season. Zary will be in contention for a top-six role this season, though it's not yet clear if he'll center his own line or play on the wing.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Zary accounted for 14 goals and 34 points in 63 appearances last season. He made an immediate impact after making his NHL debut in November, providing seven tallies and 10 assists in his first 23 contests. The 22-year-old forward was a good fit alongside Nazem Kadri, who led the team with 75 points in 82 games in 2023-24. Zary will likely claim a middle-six roster spot with the Flames out of training camp but could have his role altered. He might play more down the middle during the upcoming campaign, which could present an opportunity to skate between Jonathan Huberdeau and Anthony Mantha. Alternatively, Zary may take Kadri's place alongside Martin Pospisil and Andrei Kuzmenko. In any event, Zary should improve his numbers during his sophomore season, topping 40 points and exceeding 100 shots on net.
