While all of the attention is concentrated on signing Matthew Tkachuk, David Rittich, Sam Bennett, and Andrew Mangiapane, the cap-strapped Calgary Flames still have some work to do to stock the farm.
Since July 1, the Flames have added two forwards, Justin Kirkland and Byron Froese, and a defenseman, Brandon Davidson, presumably to fill the Heat roster. Froese and Davidson will join Alan Quinn and Buddy Robinson as veteran players. While there is not a limit on the number of veteran players an AHL team can have on their roster, they can only ice a maximum of five per game.
