Thats one down. I just don't see how Higgins stayed even 15 seconds longer than Korpikoski, he was worse out there.

Great news. I couldn't pick one reason why we would have needed him at all.

I'm more concerned that there aren't two other names on that list.

Grossman and Higgins around for at least another day

Higgins and Grossmann still with the team on PTO deals. Both on the ice for practice this morning. #Flames down to 27 in camp.

Maybe Higgins is being kept around in case Johnny doesn't sign?

Good sign Higgins isn't around too much longer:

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
#Flames lines/pairings unchanged from yesterday. F. Hamilton and Higgins skating as the extra forwards.

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
#Flames lines: Ferland-Monahan-Vey; Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer; Bouma-Backlund-Frolik; Bollig-Stajan-Chiasson. Hamilton, Higgins the extras.

Since Vey has cleared waivers, what is the rule on when they need to assign him to the AHL before he becomes eligible for waivers again?

Won't have any extra forwards then! Don't like Bollig but may as well park him upstairs so he isn't stealing ice time from anyone in Stockton.

Per Gulutzan, Korpikoski had another opportunity hence the release from his PTO. #Flames

Looks like he is going to sign a contract (NHL or Euro) elsewhere:

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Gulutzan says Korpikoski will “surface right away”, so sounds like he’s signed a contract with another team. #Flames
