Not nearly as surprising and confusing as two players with the name "Sebastian Aho" in the NHL (with the Islanders and the Hurricanes). That's ####ed up.

"Zach O’Brien says a report he’ll be attending the training camp of the NHL’s Calgary Flames is wrong.

Sportsnet had reported the Flames were looking at bringing O’Brien, who split the 2017-18 season between the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors and ECHL’s Wichita Thunder, to camp on an invitation.

“The (Sportsnet) reporter made a mistake about saying I’m going to Flames camp, “ O’Brien told The Telegram. “I think it’s someone else with the last name O’Brien.

“I’m leaving for Toronto Maple Leafs camp this week.”

Oh Francis.

NSFW!



If the Flames are bringing in someone named O'Brien on a PTO, the most-likely candidate is Andrew: https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe...andrew-o-brien

Drafted by the Ducks in 2012. A big-body d-man who has played most of his career in the AHL with the Ducks, Preds, and Stars organizations. No NHL experience and currently unsigned for 2018-19.

In that photo, there's a player wearing #44 on his helmet. Last season, that was Bartkowski's number. None of the big acquisitions this summer were given that number. I wonder who that is?


Also, it's going to be weird seeing #27 being worn by a guy about the same size as Gaudreau this year.

I believe Tyler Graovac has been assigned #44.

No. He's 39 years old and coaching in the AHL. It's safe to say his playing days are behind him.
