The Calgary Flames have gained some roster flexibility. On Thursday, they placed forward Dryden Hunt and Walker Duehr and blueliner Jarred Tinordi on the waiver wire. On Friday, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the trio cleared waivers.
As a consequence of them clearing waivers, they’re now eligible to be assigned to the American Hockey League’s Calgary Wranglers.
With a few short days remaining until Monday’s roster deadline, here’s how the Flames’ roster situation looks:
The Flames will carry two or three goaltenders. They presently have three in camp.
Depending on which goaltenders they’re keeping, the Flames would potentially need to put someone (Cooley) on waivers.
The Flames will likely carry seven defencemen. They presently have nine in camp.
The Flames would need to put a defenceman on waivers to get down to seven defenders.
The Flames will carry 13 or 14 forwards. They presently have 18 in camp.
Depending on which players they’re keeping, the Flames may need to put a forward (or multiple forwards) on waivers.
The Flames have to submit a salary cap compliant roster of between 20-23 players to the NHL’s central registry by 3 p.m. MT on Monday.
