According to PuckPedia, this is the list of players who are waiver exempt:
- Basha, Andrew
- Bell, Parker
- Brzustewicz, Hunter
- Cicek, Nick
- Ciona, Lucas
- Gridin, Matvei
- Grushnikov, Artyom
- Honzek, Samuel
- King, Carter
- Morin, Etienne
- Parekh, Zayne *
- Say, Owen
- Sergeyev, Arseni
- Strömgren, William
- Suniev, Aydar
* Parekh must be returned to the OHL if he doesn't stick in the NHL.
Basha turns 20 before the end of the year and Gridin was not drafted from the CHL, so they both can play in the AHL this season, but they could also be sent back to junior if the Flames decide that's best for their development.
