After Brad Richardson was claimed off waivers by Vancouver, the Flames had $800,000 in cap space open up on the books.
They used that space to acquire Ryan Carpenter from the Chicago Blackhawks. Calgary sent a 5th round pick in 2024 the other way.
Per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet:
Carpenter is a 31 year old forward who can play center and right wing, bringing value with a 52.3% face off win percentage. He is a right handed shot as well as a penalty killer.
