After spending last year in Germany with DEL Adler, where he posted 17 points in 50 regular-season games, Cicek is back in North America on a two-way deal with the Flames. This will be the third NHL organization that the 25-year-old has spent time with, and he'll likely begin the season playing in the AHL. He has not played a game in the NHL since the 2022-23 season.

San Jose traded Cicek and a sixth-round draft pick to Vancouver in exchange for Jack Studnicka on Friday.
