Flames trim camp roster by eight
By Ryan Pike
7 years agoIn advance of tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets (and other roster moves expected afterwards), the Calgary Flames have reduced their training camp roster by eight bodies.
None are particularly shocking cuts.
Headed to the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat are defensemen Rasmus Andersson and Roman Dyukov, and forwards Hunter Smith, Andrew Mangiapane, Ryan Lomberg and Austin Carroll. Headed back to the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights is goalie Tyler Parsons. Headed elsewhere is forward Luke Adam, who has been released from his professional tryout agreement.
The moves leave the Flames with 41 bodies in camp: four goalies, 15 defensemen and 22 forwards. More moves are expected later tonight or early tomorrow as Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan tries to get the roster down to a manageable number somewhere in the high 20s.
