The Flames have a history of giving their PTO's a full look. Probably a part of their bargaining for bringing them in. PTO's aren't just trying out for the Flames they are trying out for every team in the league.

So the 6/7 d position is still open for Bartowski, Kulak, Andersson.....

On forward, the 3 x PTOs still there, Hathaway, Hamilton, Jankowski.

Interestingly, Gillies remains up still with the big club......

I don't understand why it is taking so long to get down to a more workable number. It would be nice to get the guys into a rythym to start with so we can win a few games in October.

Gillies getting an extended look. Rittich hasn't seen much time at all in pre season games. I wonder if Gillies ousts Lack... He's done well enough in my estimation.

Chicago is the only team to cut any of their PTOs thus far in the preseason. I would not be surprised to see them be among the final cuts—the rationale being that they will be given opportunities to garner attention and land a contract with another team on the eve of the regular season.

Seriously? This is pretty standard stuff. There is still more than a full week before the start of the season.

Subject to his injury, I wouldn't mind Hrivik as a reliable extra forward. I'm not sure there's room though.

Gillies is probably still around so the leftovers have someone to shoot at in practice.

Also from the release since Pribyl and Hrivik are grouped together, I think Hrivik might be gone for a while after that hit.

Only small sorta surprise there is Foo and I definitely think it's the right call.

Maybe they should 'Czech' to see if Frolik is injured too.

This is a pretty workable number. There's only one extra defenceman and 3 extra forwards from the likely opening night roster.

I warrant that the most important positions on the team are set. The remaining players are by and large those jockeying for spots #6–7 on defense and the fourth line.

This is MUCH different from last year when the coaches were still measuring the pulse of the team through camp and the first bit of the season.
