Cap space remains tight for the Calgary Flames’ stretch drive
Following the 2022 NHL trade deadline, the Calgary Flames have a stacked, upgraded roster, an eight point cushion on the Los Angeles Kings for first place in the Pacific Division, and very little space under the salary cap.
With 20 games left to go, here’s what you need to know about the Flames’ cap situation.
The roster
The Flames begin today with a 23-man roster. There’s no roster limit right now, but the team’s roster size is constrained by the salary cap:
Goalies [2]: Jacob Markstrom and Daniel Vladar
Defensemen [7]: Noah Hanifin, Rasmus Andersson, Chris Tanev, Oliver Kylington, Erik Gudbranson, Nikita Zadorov and Michael Stone
