Shane Doan, Robyn Regehr, Curtis Glencross are all players who were still active the last time there was an alumni game for these teams. Also, Iggy and Kipper, of course.
Actually, the Flames could bring most of their roster from the 2011 Heritage Classic for the alumni game: https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/mtl-v...me_state=final
It looks like Backlund, Gio, and Bouwmeester are the only players for the Flames that game who are still in the NHL.

I don't think he will, he's just too big. There's former players that are still in decent shape, former players that are in poor shape but passable to skate and some are just simply too big and out of physical activity to the point where it would just be too tough/embarrassing to lace them up. I think Papa Tkachuk is at that point.
