18 will be James Neal. Does Jankowski stay with #77, or move to 17?

My guess is Foo moves back to 15, and Lindholm takes 16.

Prout wore 47 in Stockton last year, so I assume he does the same this year.

Garnet Hathaway is as of now unsigned, so 21 is available. Same with 32, 33, 45, 49 and 77.

For some reason I see Lindholm in 22. Can't find a pic of him ever wearing it, so more than likely 28 unless Foo wants 16 back.

Hanifin in 55

Neal in 18

Ryan in 10

Czarnik in 27

I s'pose. But they're still under Flames control and I'd be surprised to see any of them let go without being outright dealt.

Jankowski wore 17 in Stockton and 10 in Providence. With both now available, I wonder if we'll see him switch?

Kulak wore 3 in junior. I was actually surprised he didn't switch to a more-traditional number last season. I could see it happening this year.

If they think Andersson is ready to make the team, he could also get an upgrade from his prospect number.

After a less than ideal first season with the Flames, if Hamonic is as superstitious as some hockey players are, he might decide to switch back to the #3 he's worn in the past.

It looks like Ryan has worn both 10 and 11 in his pre-NHL stops, so 10 could be a possibility for him.


Neal has only worn 18 in the NHL, so I'd say that's a safe bet.

Lindholm switched from 16 to 28 last season after Kruger joined the Canes and took 16. He has worn 28 internationally. Both are available (assuming Foo switches back to 15), so that's anyone's guess.

It probably depends on how attached Hanifin is to #5. If he is, he'll likely take 55. If he isn't, I could see him taking one of the available single-digit numbers. He wore 7 in College and 2 at the World Juniors, so I could see him in 3, 4, or 6.

It should be available, but you should have to fight Regehr for the right to wear it.

I'd like to see 25 made off-limits too since it's in the rafters.

Hanifin 3
Lindholm 16
Neal 18
Ryan 17
Czarnik 27

I would love to see a worthy player take #8 for once. It’s my favourite number but it’s been plagued in Calgary by hot garbage (Stewart, Grossmann, Colborne, Eriksson, Kolanos.... that’s just off the top of my head).

Kulak told me last season he kinda liked 61. I think he's 50/50 for changing it and moving to a lower number.

I like 61 for him too.



77 for Jankowski is kinda badass, he should keep it.


Other guesses:
Ryan - 8
Lindholm - 16
Neal - 18
Czarnik - 27
Hanifin - 3
