As announced via a press release on the teams website the Calgary Flames have made the following cuts to their training camp roster:

<ul>
<li>To Stockton (AHL)
<ul>
<li>Jakob Pelletier (F)</li>
<li>Mathias Emilio Pettersen (F)</li>
<li>Martin Pospisil (F)</li>
<li>Ryan Francis (F)</li>
<li>Adam Ruzicka (F)</li>
<li>Dustin Wolf (G)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On waivers for purpose of assignment to Stockton (AHL)
<ul>
<li>Matthew Phillips (F)</li>
<li>Kevin Gravel (D)</li>
<li>Nick DeSimone (D)</li>
<li>Andy Welinski (D)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
It&#8217;s interesting that Ryan Francis &#8211; who is eligible to be returned to the QMJHL &#8211; has been assigned to Stockton. Matthew Phillips is a player many fans were wanting to make a big push for the roster, should he clear waivers he will be eligible to be an early call-up without having to go on waivers again for a short period of time. The risk here is any of the other 31 teams can put in a claim to acquire him for nothing over the next 24 hours.
There currently remain 31 players in camp (18 forwards, 10 defencemen, 3 goalies).
