Free The Flame reached out to me and asked if I could rank the forwards group in Stockton to see who would fit the term “Black Ace” for the Flames playoff run. Unless the Heat go on a 10-game winning streak, Stockton will miss the Calder Cup playoffs for the third time in four years.
Next to each player below there is an E (waiver exempt) or N (non-waiver exempt). Thanks to CapFriendly, I was able to obtain these players’ waiver status to verify if someone is called up, they are able to be reassigned to Stockton without the need to go through waivers and risk getting claimed by another club.
