The 2008–09 season is the 28th for the Calgary Flames, and 36th for the Flames franchise in the National Hockey League.

The Flames completed two significant trades during the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, acquiring forward Mike Cammalleri from the Los Angeles Kings as part of a three way trade that saw Calgary deal the 17th overall pick to the Anaheim Ducks. They then sent Alex Tanguay to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the 25th overall pick, with each team adding lower round picks to the deal. The Flames signed forward Todd Bertuzzi during the off-season, a move that generated controversy amongst a fan base with which he had been previously unpopular.

Transactions

Todd Bertuzzi was the most significant signing by the Flames in the free agent market. The controversial forward, best known for his attack on Steve Moore in 2003–04, had previously been extremely unpopular with Flames fans.
