Flames blueliner Ilya Solovyov clears waivers, is assigned to the AHL’s Wranglers

The Calgary Flames are a little bit closer to locking down their opening roster. On Tuesday, they placed defenceman Ilya Solovyov on waivers. On Wednesday, Solovyov cleared waivers and was assigned by the club to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers.
As noted on Tuesday, Solovyov is a 24-year-old product of Belarus, and he’s a left shot defender. Originally selected by the Flames in 2020, he joined the club’s minor league system in 2021 after spending a year with Dynamo Minsk in the Kontinental Hockey League. He’s emerged as a very dependable, if not flashy, defensive-minded, physical defender. He’s a nice compliment to the up-tempo young offensive defenders in the club’s system.
Solovyov’s demotion to the AHL brings the camp roster to 36 players, including four players that have already cleared waivers in Jonathan Aspirot, Clark Bishop, Martin Frk and Justin Kirkland. The Flames need to have a cap compliant, 23-man roster filed with the league’s central registry by 3 p.m. MT this coming Monday.
