Flames' Joel Hanley: Practices Thursday
Hanley (undisclosed) participated in the Thursday's practice, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Hanley missed Calgary's final eight contests in 2023-24 due to an undisclosed injury, but it appears he's ready for the upcoming campaign. He had a goal and five points in 42 contests last season. Hanley was paired with Tyson Barrie, who is joining Calgary's training camp on a tryout basis, during the practice.

Flames' Jake Bean: Healthy at training camp
Bean (hand) is ready to go for the start of the season, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Thursday.
Bean is practicing with the first group at camp after missing the last six games of the regular season with Columbus in 2023-24. Bean had four goals and 13 points with 110 blocked shots in 72 regular-season contests with the Blue Jackets last year. Columbus did not give Bean a qualifying offer and the 26-year-old defenseman signed with his hometown team. Bean is expected to be a third-pairing defenseman with Calgary this season.

Flames' Kevin Bahl: Not practicing Thursday
Bahl will not practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Bahl was dealt to Calgary in June, with Jacob Markstrom going to New Jersey. Bahl is expected to be a second-pairing defenseman this season. The 24-year-old had only a goal and 11 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, but he did manage 151 hits and 103 blocked shots for the Devils.

Flames' Ilya Solovyov: Secures two-year deal
Solovyov signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Flames on Wednesday.
Solovyov produced three assists over 10 NHL games last year and added 15 points in 51 regular-season contests with AHL Calgary. The Flames have a number of blueliners in contention for an NHL roster spot, so Solovyov is likely to begin 2024-25 in the AHL. His new contract is a two-way deal this season and a one-way deal in 2025-26.

Flames' Cole Schwindt: Inks two-way deal
Schwindt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday.
Schwindt will make slightly more than the league minimum in the NHL, which carries an $800,000 cap hit. The 23-year-old winger, acquired in the Matthew Tkachuk trade in July of 2022, had 36 points in 66 contests with AHL Calgary last year. He also played in four games with the Flames, and while Schwindt could see more NHL time in 2024-25, he's likely to spend a good portion of the season with the farm team.

Flames' Jakob Pelletier: Inks one-year deal
Pelletier agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Pelletier has just 37 games of NHL experience under his belt in which he recorded four goals on 57 shots to go with two assists, 10 hits and three blocks. Even though he is sporting a two-way deal, Pelletier should still play the bulk of his games in the NHL this season -- albeit in a bottom-six capacity that is unlikely to come with power-play opportunities.

Flames' Tyson Barrie: Joining club on tryout
Barrie will link up with Calgary for training camp on a professional tryout agreement, the team announced Tuesday.
Considering Barrie has reached the 50-point threshold four times in his 13-year NHL career, including the 2022-23 campaign when he played for Edmonton and Nashville, it seems somewhat surprising no team was willing to give him a full contract before the start of the season. No doubt a disappointing 2023-24 season, in which he played in just 41 regular-season contests while generating 15 points, factored into the league-wide hesitancy to give the 33-year-old blueliner a deal. In another Tuesday signing, the Flames added Jarred Tinordi on a two-way contract, so Barrie will have plenty of competition during training camp in securing a roster spot for Opening Night.

Flames' Jarred Tinordi: Signs two-way deal
Tinordi inked a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Tuesday.
Tinordi will likely head into training camp in a battle with fellow veteran Joel Hanley (undisclosed) for the seventh defenseman spot in the lineup. Last year, the 32-year-old TInordi saw action in 52 games for the Blackhawks in which he registered nine assists but failed to find the back of the net while putting a mere 32 shots on net. All that to say, TInordi's lack of offensive upside makes him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests even if he does secure a spot on the Opening Night roster.

Flames' Martin Pospisil: Back in action
Per Chris Wahl of the Flames' official site, Pospisil (shoulder) will represent Slovakia in a qualification tournament for the 2026 Winter Olympics from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1.
Pospisil is healthy again after suffering an injury during the 2024 IIHF World Championship in May. The 24-year-old forward registered eight goals, 24 points, 117 shots on net and 238 hits across 63 regular-season contests for Calgary in 2023-24. Pospisil will be in the mix for a middle-six spot with the Flames going into the upcoming campaign.

Flames' Yan Kuznetsov: Pens one-year pact
Kuznetsov secured a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Monday.
Kuznetsov made his NHL debut this past season but it was the only game he appeared in for the Flames. With AHL Calgary last year, the Russian blueliner didn't offer much in the way of fantasy upside considering he managed just five goals and eight helpers in 63 regular-season games. While Kuznetsov could see a handful of NHL contests, he is unlikely to be a full-time option this year, making him a non-factor in redraft formats as well as a weak choice for keeper and dynasty leagues.

Flames' Adam Klapka: Grabs two-way deal
Klapka inked a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Monday.
Klapka played in six NHL games for the Flames last year in which he generated one goal, four shots on net and 21 hits while averaging just 6:46 of ice time. In the minors, the 23-year-old was significantly more productive with 21 goals and 25 helpers in 65 regular-season tilts with the Wranglers. While Klapka figures to see more than the six games he did last year, he figures to again split his time between the NHL and AHL next year, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Flames' Dustin Wolf: Secures two-year deal
Wolf penned a two-year, $1.7 million contract with the Flames on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Interestingly, Wolf's deal is a two-way contract in the first year, which is a little surprising when you consider he could open the 2024-25 campaign as the No. 1 option ahead of Dan Vladar, who struggled to produce last year. For his part, the 23-year-old Wolf has just 18 games of NHL experience in which he is sporting an 8-7-1 record, 3.03 GAA and .896 save percentage. Perhaps the decision to sign Wolf to a two-way deal is an indication the team is actively looking for another NHL backstop on the trade market.

Flames' Etienne Morin: Signs entry-level deal
Morin signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames on Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Morin was selected in the second round -- 48th overall -- in the 2023 Draft. The defenseman had 12 goals and 37 assists in 58 games with QMJHL Moncton in 2023-24 and played one AHL game on an amateur tryout basis with the Wranglers but was unable to hit the scoresheet. Expect to see Morin back in junior hockey in 2024-25.

Flames' Matvei Gridin: Pens three-year deal
Gridin agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with Calgary on Friday.
Gridin wasted no time putting pen to paper after being selected by the Flames in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft. The 18-year-old center was committed to the University of Michigan for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign but looks to be headed to the QMJHL after being the first overall selection by Val-d'Or in the 2024 CHL Import Draft. As far as the NHL goes, Gridin will likely spend at least two more seasons developing his game before getting a shot with Calgary.

Flames' Zayne Parekh: Inks entry-level contract
Parekh signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames on Friday.
Parekh was selected by Calgary with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. The 18-year-old defenseman put up huge numbers with OHL Saginaw in 2023-24 -- 33 goals and 96 points across 66 regular-season outings. His defensive play needs work, but Parekh has the potential to eventually become a phenomenal player.

Flames' Justin Kirkland: Pens one-year contract
Kirkland signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Wednesday.
Kirkland had eight goals and 30 points in 43 regular-season contests with AHL Tucson in 2023-24. He also appeared in two outings with Arizona, recording no points, one shot, five hits and one block over that stretch. Kirkland is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Flames' Jonathan Aspirot: Secures one-year contract
Aspirot inked a one-year, two-way deal with the Flames on Tuesday.
Aspirot has spent the past five seasons playing in the AHL without ever making his NHL debut. The 25-year-old defenseman did put up a career-best 33 points in 66 regular-season games for the Wranglers last year, but that's unlikely to secure him a significant role with Calgary heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Flames' Martin Frk: Coming back to North America
Frk agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Frk will give the NHL another shot after spending last season playing in Switzerland for Bern SC and Rapperswil-Jona. During his last NHL stint back in 2021-22, the winger was only able to play six games for the Kings, though he did score twice on 15 shots in those contests. Heading into training camp, Frk is far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster and could spend significant time in the minors.

Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Agrees to two-year deal
Lomberg signed a two-year, $4 million contract with Calgary on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Lomberg chipped in five goals, two assists, 80 PIM and 179 hits in 75 regular-season contests with Florida in 2023-24. The 29-year-old forward will likely occupy a bottom-six role with the Flames.
