Is Freddie Hamilton going to be in the NHL this upcoming season? That much is, as of yet, unknown - but he was one of the few restricted free agents qualified, and he already has a lower number; one that he made his Flames debut in this past season.
We probably won't see too much of #25 through the 2016-17 year - but we don't really know how the year's going to play out at all.
#25 on the Flames
F.Ham is the 17th player in Flames franchise history to wear #25:
- LW Eric Vail
- RW Willi Plett
- RW Greg Meredith
- D Neil Sheehy
- RW Yves Courteau
- C Mike Bullard
- C Joe Nieuwendyk
- LW Dave Roche
- RW Sergei Krivokrasov
- LW Niklas Andersson
- D Igor Kravchuk
- LW Martin Sonnenberg
- RW Darren McCarty
- LW Dave Moss
- C Steve Begin
- LW Brandon Bollig
- C Freddie Hamilton
Sheehy (again, but only for one game) and Kravchuk aside, the number has been for forwards.
