With preseason half over, the Flames have begun to cut their roster down. Today, they assigned Mason Morelli, Alex Gallant, Jeremy McKenna, and Nick Schneider to the Stockton Heat.

Obviously, these aren’t huge cuts. Morelli, Gallant, and McKenna are only on AHL contracts, so cutting them is a formality. Schneider is on an NHL deal, but he was never really in the goalie competition, evident by him not playing any preseason hockey for the club.
