The Calgary Flames will hit the ice on Friday for the first time since middle of April. Sure, there are no actual NHL players on the ice aside from Dillon Dube, but it’s more than we’ve seen in months. In addition to several of the top prospects in the Flames organization – seven of their top 10 and 14 of the top 20 from our rankings will be there – we’ll also see 10 players with no formal ties to the Flames in camp on try-outs.
The try-out players can be split into two groups: those under American Hockey League deals for this coming season, and junior players trying to make a good impression.
