The Calgary Flames are in the final stages of their general manager search, and Marc Bergevin, Stan Bowman, Craig Conroy, and Dave Nonis are among the candidates, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.

Bergevin, Bowman, and Nonis all visited Calgary last week for in-person interviews, Seravalli added.

Conroy is the lone internal candidate of the four, but he also comes with the least experience. He's worked in the Flames' front office for 13 years, the last nine seasons spent as assistant GM. The 51-year-old played nine of his 16 NHL seasons in Calgary.

Bergevin served as GM and executive vice president of hockey operations for the Montreal Canadiens from 2012-2021, leading the team to a Stanley Cup Final berth in 2021. He's been working as a senior advisor with the Los Angeles Kings over the last couple of seasons.

Bowman oversaw three Stanley Cup championships during his 13 seasons as GM of the Chicago Blackhawks from 2009-2021. He resigned in October 2021 following an investigation into the organization's handling of the sexual abuse of former player Kyle Beach in 2010. Bowman hasn't worked in an NHL front office since.

Nonis owns over six years of NHL GM experience, spending four years with the Vancouver Canucks from 2004-08 and two with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2013-15. He's worked in the Anaheim Ducks' front office since then, including the past three campaigns as assistant GM.

The Flames and former GM Brad Treliving parted ways in April after nine seasons together. Calgary's president of hockey operations, Don Maloney, is currently serving as interim GM.
