No one?
Right now (assuming Bennett signs), the Flames have 12 forwards who ended last season in Calgary, so there's still two open spots for the start of the season (plus any openings that result from preseason injuries). The only AHL forwards who require waivers are Shinkaruk, Poirier, Hathaway, Gazdic, and Hrivik.
None of them should be at risk of being claimed off waivers. If any of them has a strong enough preseason that there is concern they'd get claimed, it also means they were likely good enough to make the team and won't be put on waivers.

No. You have to be at a 23-man roster to start the season.
