Cuts tomorrow or very late tonight at best.
Some interesting notes:
Vladar and Cooley require waivers to be sent down and Calgary doesn’t want to waive either of them. They also want Wolf up, so we may see the dreaded 3 headed monster to start again this year.
Flames will carry 7 D and so that leaves 2 of the “bubble” group to be sent down - Hanley likely the odd man out as Tinordi already assigned down but still up right now. Not really a surprise here.
Flames could carry 14 Forwards if 7 D and 2 goalies but we could see all 3 remain up. Only Honzek, Klapka and Coronato are waiver exempt so we would have to see Schwindt on waivers, Coronato likely to start in the AHL.
Sounds like Sharky could be hurt for a while, more so weeks vs months, though this is an educated guess as the Flames are tight lipped on the severity right now. I think Honzek is a lock for starting up with the big club, he’s the best kept secret on how to earn a spot at camp and Craig wants to keep his word.
Flames aren’t shopping anyone but teams have called, I’m told we likely won’t see any moves before the season starts which means Craig and the group have a long night ahead of them. They’re meeting for dinner to finalize the list.
