it doesn't sound like a deal with restricted free agent Jakob Pelletier is close at the moment. Anything can change with a phone call and the sides remain in contact, but as of right now, things are quiet.
Pelletier posted one goal and three points in 13 games with the Flames last season. He added five goals and 12 points in 18 games with the AHL's Calgary Wranglers.
The 23-year-old forward was selected 26th overall by the Flames in the 2019 draft. He has four goals and 10 points in 37 career games with the team.
Calgary will play their first preseason game on Sept. 22 against the Seattle Kraken, with their opening game set for Oct. 9 against the Vancouver Canucks.
