The ECHL requires teams to name a 23 man roster for the playoffs. Also to be eligible for playoffs you need to play at least 5 ECHL games in the season.
I believe the only Flames prospect with a NHL contract that would meet the 5 ECHL games requirement is Culkin.
Not sure why they decided not to add him, perhaps they think he has outgrown that league now.
