Since the trade deadline, the Calgary Flames have had a few roster changes and have had to deal with a few injuries. In short: their salary cap and roster situation was initially pretty complex, but has seemingly gotten fairly simple.
Here’s a snapshot of where things sit as of Tuesday morning.
The roster
Since we’re past the trade deadline, there no longer is a 23-man roster limit. Teams can carry as many players as they prefer, as long as they’re compliant with the salary cap.
The Flames currently have 24 players on their active roster:
- Goaltenders [2]: Jacob Markstrom & Daniel Vladar
- Defencemen [8]: Rasmus Andersson, Noah Hanifin, Oliver Kylington, Chris Tanev, Nikita Zadorov, Erik Gudbranson, Michael Stone and Connor Mackey
- Forwards [14]: Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm, Matthew Tkachuk, Andrew Mangiapane, Mikael Backlund, Blake Coleman, Tyler Toffoli, Calle Jarnkrok, Dillon Dube, Milan Lucic, Trevor Lewis, Ryan Carpenter, Brett Ritchie and Adam Ruzicka
Sean Monahan is on the long-term injury reserve.
