Last night, the Calgary Flames played their fifth pre-season game. For the fifth time in the pre-season, Keegan Kanzig did not play.
So what's the deal?
Here's what we know about Kanzig's situation right now.
HE'S 20
Keegan Kanzig is a 20-year-old defenseman. He's quite big. He's quite strong. He's built like a wall.
(He's one of three 20-year-olds in Flames camp; Hunter Smith has already been assigned to Stockton and will likely turn pro, while Morgan Klimchuk is still in main camp.)
HIS CONTRACT IS RUNNING
Because of his age when Kanzig signed his entry-level deal, he's already used up the two "slide years" that the CBA allocates to players that sign when they're 18.
