August is almost over and before you know it, training camp will be here. Prospect camp opens just after Labour Day and it’s time to start thinking about what camp might look like.
Specifically, there are several players that you shouldn’t expect to see when camp kicks off on Sept. 5. The players you won’t see have other commitments – either academic or overseas.
The Flames have eight drafted players (and one free agent signing) who will be playing in Europe or in school when training camp begins.
In Europe: Lucas Feuk (Sodertalje SK, Allsvenskan), Carl-Johan Lerby (Malmo, SHL), Linus Lindstrom (Skelleftea AIK, SHL), Ilya Nikolayev (Loko Yaroslavl, MHL) and Filip Sveningsson (IK Oskarshamn, SHL).
