I don't know if the Flames can call Carter Bancks a prospect yet (just not sure if he is Flames property) but the former Lethbridge Hurricanes captain is playing with alot of energy. Just read that Lance Bouma will be playing in his first AHL game tonight. Bouma, Watt, and Bancks will form a new energy line today. I have to admit that line looks like it will be fun to watch!

He is Flames property, he signed a ATO with the flames http://www.abbotsfordheat.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=23800&ATCLID=204914968

ATO contract doesn't make him Flames property, it's just for playing out the season in Abbotsford without using up a year of an entry level contract, if he is offered one. He's a free agent come the end of the Heat season unless he's signed but it hasn't been announced yet.

No biggie IMO, these type of contracts come up once a year and are usually forgotten by fans quickly.

Will be interesting if he gets offered a contract by an NHL team this summer or if he just gets invited to another camp.
