The annual deadline to sign drafted prospects has come and gone, and the Calgary Flames have cut bait with one of their 2013 Draft picks.
Per the Flames, they have elected not to sign defenseman Eric Roy. A defender with the Brandon Wheat Kings, he was Calgary's fifth round selection in the 2013 Draft, 135th overall. They acquired the pick from Columbus in exchange for Blake Comeau at the 2013 trade deadline.
Roy will be 21 years of age in October and will be eligible for selection in the upcoming entry draft later this month.
He was a second-pairing defender for the Wheaties this year as an over-ager, primarily playing with fellow veteran Colton Waltz.
