Breaking down the Flames’ training camp roster

Training camp is upon us. We’re not at NHL hockey yet – we still have a few days to go before preseason games, really – but it’s getting closer.

Sixty-eight players will be taking part in Flames camp; between now and Oct. 3 – the day before the season starts – 45 will be cut, leaving the Flames with their 23-man roster. The players have been divided into three groups – groups which may give us some insight as to who may be playing with who when the puck drops for real.

This piece is inspired by the comments section on our initial training camp piece, where a handful of you – starting with user JMK – started speculating on what these training camp teams might mean for the opening day lineup.
