Well without going all CorsiHockeyLeague it's an important semantic as the OP was asking who will still be a Flame on opening day and you said Stajan won't because he'll be in the press box.
Opening day roster is a very common and clear term in the sports world for which players are part of the team on day one. Who's dressed and playing on opening night is an entirely different question and about as relevant as "who will be playing in game 15 of the Flames 17/18 season".
In the spirit of his question you didn't include Stajan and then went on to say he will be here.
