Using that criteria, Andersson, Kylington, and Mangiapane all qualify because they played more than 30 games last season. Dube and Valimaki just missed the 30 game cutoff.

Almost every player on the Flames' NHL roster will qualify as veterans under this rule.

Froese and Davidson also qualify under the 100 games played threshold. Assuming NHL playoff games count toward the 100 game count, Quine also qualifies.

Pelletier qualifies as a 2019 first rounder.



Without any PTOs, the Flames should have no problem meeting the 8 veteran requirement for any preseason game, even the split-squad.
