According to The Athletic&#8217;s Pierre LeBrun, in his trade rumblings column, the Flames may not be done.</p>

<p>The Flames presently have a full 23-man roster, with zero players currently waiver exempt&#8230; so if they were going to add a player on Monday, or try to, they would need to put somebody on waivers this weekend so they would have some roster flexibility.

<p>The Flames are back in game action on Friday night when they host the Buffalo Sabres. The 2022 trade deadline is Monday at 1 p.m. MT. Be sure to follow along at FlamesNation, as well as with Daily Faceoff&#8217;s live, commercial-free draft day show on all their social channels.</p>
