Notes
An easier view of the roster by groupings is below:
A few interesting notes:
- Jonathan Huberdeau, Elias Lindholm, and Yegor Sharangovich are skating together on Team Vernon. Could this signal an opening night top line?
- Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, Noah Hanifin, and Nikita Zadorov are skating together on Team Vernon. Could this signal opening night defense pairings of Weegar-Andersson and Hanifin-Zadorov?
- Chris Tanev and Oliver Kylington are skating together on Team Iginla. Perhaps they will be reunited as a pairing this season.
- Jacob Markstrom and Dan Vladar are skating on team Vernon. Looks like Vladar is being penciled in as the backup, as expected.
- Team McDonald is essentially all prospects who won’t sniff NHL minutes, however this group includes Jeremie Poirier who is dealing with an injury.
- Walker Duehr and Connor Zary are skating on Team Vernon and will get lots of looks with premier NHLers.
- Kevin Rooney is also on Team Vernon.
- William Stromgren is on Team Iginla with mostly NHLers. This should allow Flames brass to see how he stacks up with high quality teammates.
