The Calgary Flames announced today that they have released defenceman Ryan Wilson from his professional try-out.
Calgary has 27 players remaining at training camp (3x goalies, 8x defencemen, 16x forwards).

Assuming Treliving hasn't got a trade in the works for Hiller or Ramo and it'd be dumb to waive Ortio.
(8x defencemen, 16x forwards/20 spots)
Smid and Brodie are on IR right and aren't technically using a spot right?
(6x defencemen, 16x forwards/20 spots)
There's the obvious ones like Gio, Mony, Huds, Johnny, Hamilton, Frolik and Bennett.
(4x defencemen, 11x forwards/13 spots)
You got the veterans and the players who've really pushed for a spot to earn it like Bouma, Backlund, Russel, Wideman, Jones, Stajan, Ferland, Jooris, Colborne, Kulak and Engelland.
(4x forwards/2 spots)
So you've got Bollig, Raymond, Granlund and Byron left fighting for 2 spots on the roster. Bollig hasn't shown anything too terrible during pre-season so I think he gets one spot.
(3x forwards/1 spot)
Now you have 1 player who plays just wing (Raymond), 1 player who plays just center usually (Granlund), and 1 player who can play wing or center (Byron). *Anyway this shakes out I see one of Granlund or Byron making the team and Raymond being moved*
Raymond + Granlund OR Byron + AHL defenceman for Mid draft pick + B- player (
because)
Hiller OR Ramo moved in a separate trade.
