FLAMES ISSUE QUALIFYING OFFERS TO SEVEN RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
The Calgary Flames have issued qualifying offers to seven of their pending restricted free agents, the team announced Sunday.
Forwards Adam Klapka, Jakob Pelletier and Cole Schwindt, defencemen Ilya Solovyov, Yan Kuznetsov and Nikita Okhotiuk and goaltender Dustin Wolf all received qualifying offers.
The only two Flames’ RFAs to not receive an offer from the team were forwards Dillon Dube and Riley Damiani.
Dube is one of four NHL players charged in connection with a sexual assault case involving five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team.
Wolf, 23, played in 17 games with the Flames this season and finished with a 7-7-1 record with a 3.16 goals against average and 0.893 save percentage.
With regular Jacob Markstrom recently traded to the New Jersey Devils, Wolf should see plenty of playing time with the Flames next season.
Pelletier also spent a bit of time with the big club last season, playing in 13 games where he recorded one goal and two assists. Pelletier struggled with injuries last year, missing the Flames’ first 49 games of the season with a shoulder injury.
