<p>The Calgary Flames made more roster moves on Sunday, sending 10 bodies to the American Hockey League and leaving just 31 players in camp.</p>
<p>So who&#8217;s left? Who&#8217;s hurt? And who has a chance at a roster spot?</p>

<p>Kinnvall is on the camp roster (and nursing a significant injury) so really the Flames are carrying nine active defenders. Of these bodies, Mackey is waiver exempt and probably the easiest guy to cut.

<p>Zary and Pitlick are injured so the Flames have 16 active forwards in camp, so they need to cut three or four to get to the roster limit. It seems unlikely that Duehr or Kirkland make the team, so that leaves the Flames with a decision or two to make depending on if Pitlick will be ready for opening night. Gawdin has been very good in a depth role, and he&#8217;s probably inching ahead of Froese for a potential spot as fourth line centre.</p>

The Calgary Flames made more roster moves on Sunday, sending 10 bodies to the American Hockey League and leaving just 31 players in camp.

So who's left? Who's hurt? And who has a chance at a roster spot?

Who’s left in Flames camp?
