Going into training camp he will be down a slot to #10 on the depth organizational depth chart behind Valimaki.
PS Assumes Prout as #7. Is that a real probability.
One-way contract at 800k. Where did he fit in in Stockton last year when he was making 1.9M.... cap hit of 550K counting against the Flames NHL cap. He must have made a solid impression for the Flames to re-sign him.

Prout will likely play a part-time “grit index” (LOL) role, as a 7D, that will allow Andersson and/or Kylington and/ or Valimaki to further ameliorate their game in the AHL, while playing big minutes.
Playing D is a very tough and challenging task in the NHL for the great majority of young D. Almost never a bad idea to be patient and further a young defenseman’ s growth, in the AHL.
