Another name to keep an eye on is defenceman Chris Dienes.

He has attended Flames development camp twice in a row and was identified as one of the best free agent standouts this past July. He still has 1 year of college eligibility left.

Of that tryout group, receiving glowing reviews were players like Ryan Lomberg, who had been invited after the brass had seen him playing for Youngtson of the USHL, Tyson Baillie from the Kelowna Rockets (Treliving declared he’ll be joining them in Penticton for the Young Stars tournament), and Chris Dienes out of Western Michigan.

"I thought the camp went really well. I thought I played really well," said Dienes, who will be a junior at Western this season. "My fitness testing was good. There are some areas I still need to work on, but overall I thought it went pretty well."
The feedback Dienes received was positive. At the very least he's got the Flames' attention as a player to watch and evaluate going forward.
"They said they really love my game," said Dienes. "They're going to continue to watch me. (They said to) keep working on my overall development and hopefully something comes out of it."
Former Lake Superior State head coach Frank Anzalone, now a scout for Calgary, was the person who got Dienes his first invitation to the Flames' camp last summer. Then midway through this season he received an offer from the team's general manager, Brad Treliving, to return again. Dienes had an offer to attend Toronto's development camp, but Dienes opted to head west.
"I liked Calgary," he said. "They've been really good to me and I just thought I'd go back since I enjoyed the camp the first time and I thought I did well. I thought, since they extended another invite I'd be loyal and go back to them."
