Walker Duehr, Adam Klapka, Yan Kuznetsov, Mitch McLain, Jakob Pelletier, Cole Schwindt, Ilya Solovyov, Brett Sutter and Connor Zary were all assigned, while Clark Bishop, Oscar Dansk, Nick DeSimone, Ben Jones, Matthew Phillips and Colton Poolman were placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to the Wranglers.
Flames head coach Darryl Sutter had high praise for the players, and gave his assessment on what he saw from them.
"The 18 players that went today, they all had good camps," he said. " They fall into three brackets: entry-levels, guys out of entry-level, and the older group. There's guys in every group that were really good and guys in that group that outperformed guys that are still here.
"It's a good group and you can tell that they are the right type of guys. There's guys in each position that got to take that next step. There's guys in those entry-levels that maybe weren't quite as good in this camp they've got work to do. That's the evoultion of a young player."
"It's tough to go to the next level, very simple. Ther'e size, strength, knowledge, everyone has lots to work on."
