The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout. Calgary recorded a 19–25–4 record under new head coach Bob Hartley that included a franchise record 13-game losing streak on the road. The Flames finished fourth in the Northwest Division, 13th in the Western Conference and failed to qualify for the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was the fourth consecutive season that team did not reach the playoffs. It was a transitional season for the Flames. It marked the end of the Jarome Iginla era, after 17 years. Iginla is the franchise's all-time leader in games played, goals and points, and appearing once in the Stanley Cup Final (2004). Following the long-time Flames captain's trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins, it marked the start of a rebuilding phase as the team brought in younger players. Defensive leader Jay Bouwmeester was also traded, while it was widely speculated in the media that it would also be goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff's final season in the NHL. By virtue of the trades, the Flames ended the season with three first round selections in the 2013 NHL entry draft.

It would have allowed any team to claim him without compensation while the Flames would still have lost their 2013 first and third round draft picks to Colorado for signing him away. The Flames disagreed with the NHL's interpretation, arguing the language in the memorandum of understanding the League and Union were operating under would have allowed for the signing, but conceded the argument was moot since Colorado matched the offer.Sportak Randy NHL says O'Reilly would have needed to clear waivers ...

According to Feaster however, Kiprusoff told Toronto that "Miikka was clear that he didn't want to lead Toronto on, that he didn't want to go there if his heart wasn't 100 per cent set on it and committed to it", therefore the Flames agreed to honour Kiprusoff's request to remain in Calgary.https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/flames-goalie-miikka-kiprusoff-decides-to-stay-put-1.1343762 Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff decides to stay put Canadian Broadcasting Corporation 2013-04-03 2013-04-17 Without Iginla and top defenceman Jay Bouwmeester, who was dealt to the St. Louis Blues, the team continued to struggle, particularly on the road.
