Kerins was part of a trio of signings that Calgary made on Thursday as the 23-year-old was brought back for another season on a one-year, two-way contract. The 23-year-old was Calgary's 2020 6th-round pick (174th overall) and made his NHL debut in 2024-25, picking up an eye-opening four assists in just five games played. He will battle for one of Calgary's final roster spots in training camp this season after an impressive 2024-25 campaign with the Wranglers (AHL), where he put up 33 goals and 61 points in 63 games played.
