Calgary Flames reduce camp roster by six players

In advance of Friday’s meeting with the Edmonton Oilers, the Calgary Flames have reduced their camp roster by six players (after already cutting seven players on Thursday). Per the club, blueliner Etienne Morin has been assigned to the QMJHL’s Moncton Wildcats, blueliner Mikael Diotte has been released from his try-out, and a quartet has been assigned to the AHL’s Calgary Wranglers: Parker Bell, Brett Sutter, William Stromgren and Jarrod Gourley.

Morin was a second-round pick of the Flames in 2023’s draft. (He’s not signed, but the Flames have until June 1, 2025 to ink him.) Bell and Stromgren are on entry-level deals, while Sutter and Gourley are on AHL deals.
