Ortio (already there but doesn't change that I would have named him)
Wolf
Poirier
Reinhart
Agostino
Elson
Culkin (injured, but was skating and working out and getting ready for next season. I think they bring him up to work his butt off)

Thanks! One question though, would it make more sense to call up Kulak instead of Culkin? or even both? from what i have seen they are very similar so having the healthier one, who doesnt have to adjust back into playing, would make more sense wouldnt it?

Kulak is going to be an AHL guy next year. Prior to the injury, there was a good chance Culkin would be called up. I think they will take Culkin to assimilate him into that atmosphere knowing he is further ahead. Also like Bennett, they can watch his rehab closer and maybe get him ahead of some guy coming into next season.

It's very possible both are called up, but I would think Culkin goes before Kulak.

Bit of a Culkin update: Looks like he's doing well and now has the cast/brace off from the surgery. He seemed more concerned about his hand modelling career then playing career. He was also showing off the scar from the cut and surgery. It was a fairly significant cut that he suffered and seeing the scar, he was very lucky.

(Behind tags, but it isn't that bad. It's a clean scar, no blood or guts or insanely grotesque deformity)

Spoiler!

I think Stevenson will return on the blueline. Maybe Roy get s a deal too. 9 defenseman isn't so bad with injuries recalls.

I'd like Tousignant to come back too.

Looking at that list, I think Hano gets offered an AHL deal (and maybe even captaincy?) in Stockton. The kid is glue for this team. I have a feeling Reinhart might be moving on. Just a feeling. He's going nowhere in this organization. I don't know about BVB. It wouldn't be awful to see him go, which would make room for an equally enormous human being in Smith.

As far as I'm concerned, Granlund has graduated. He'll either be with the Flames or he'll be used as a trade chip. He has nothing to prove in the AHL and all the offensive abilities in the world to prove in the big league. I think Spoon will graduate next season as a third-pairing guy.

Nolan Yonkman will not be returning to the Flames/Heat. He has signed a contract in Finland for next season.
