In advance of Saturday’s pre-season clash with the Vancouver Canucks (and the start of Calgary Wranglers training camp on Monday), the Calgary Flames have pared down their camp roster by seven.
Assigned to the Wranglers are five players on American Hockey League deals – goalies Connor Murphy and Matt Radomsky, and forwards Alex Gallant, Trevor Janicke and David Silye – and two players on National Hockey League contracts – forwards Rory Kerins and Ilya Nikolaev.
None of these moves should be terribly surprising. Of the seven players headed to Wranglers camp, only Murphy dressed for any pre-season games with the Flames (and Murphy didn’t get any game action, dressing as backup twice behind Dustin Wolf and Devin Cooley, respectively).
These moves bring the camp roster down to 46 players.
