How are the other Stockton defenseman doing? My guess is that Valiev would be the next call-up because he does have some NHL experience.

After Prout, the Flames have only 4 d-men under NHL contract.
Hogstrom - hasn't played this season.
Taormina - little to no effectiveness in the NHL to date.
Healey - okay showing in the preseason but no NHL experience
Valiev - just starting to get in a groove in the AHL and only 12 NHL games
I could see Treliving getting an experienced depth d-man
