The Calgary Flames have made their first roster moves of 2021’s training camp, cutting a dozen players from camp and reducing the main camp roster to 51 players.
Here’s the rundown:
  • Amateur try-out players Benjamin King (Red Deer, WHL), Connor Ungar (Red Deer, WHL) and Carter Serhyenko (Prince Albert, WHL) have been released from their ATOs and returned to their junior teams.
  • Pro try-out players Koletrane Wilson, Greg Moro and Reid Perepeluk – all signed to AHL deals already – have been released from their PTOs and assigned to the AHL’s Stockton Heat.
  • Unsigned junior players Lucas Ciona (Seattle, WHL), Cole Huckins (Acadie-Bathurst, QMJHL), Cole Jordan (Moose Jaw, WHL), Rory Kerins (Sault Ste. Marie, OHL), Ilya Nikolaev (Tri-City, USHL) and Cameron Whynot (Halifax, QMJHL) have been assigned to their junior teams.
The players who were cut were all part of the early group in training camp, prospects who were working with the development coaches and never really considered serious contenders for NHL roster spots.
So who’s left in camp?
(Note: Connor Zary and Johannes Kinnvall are injured.)
