Walker Duehr of the Calgary Flames was placed on NHL waivers, which could open up a roster spot for a call-up or other transaction. The Flames have Dennis Gilbert on IR, bringing the active roster down to 22 players, allowing flexibility for potential recalls from the AHL. There is curiosity about whether Duehr will clear waivers, with discussions on his impact and potential. The Flames have recalled right-winger Adam Klapka from the AHL's Wranglers, who has shown strong performance with 10 goals and 21 points in 33 games. Duehr subsequently cleared waivers and was officially assigned to the Wranglers, bringing Calgary back to 22 on their active roster.

Walker Duehr (CGY) clears waivers.
Doesn’t appear from line rushes Klapka will make his NHL debut tonight #flames https://t.co/S1IUepN1it
“I know he’s a different player than me but, as the time is going to go, I think I can make the plays like him.” From the fall, on #Flames call-up Adam Klapka and an established NHLer who he’d like to emulate ... https://t.co/7Uackrixje
Adam Klapka takes his first strides as an NHLer #flames https://t.co/NOycJWhKTO
Another solo lap tonight? #Flames have recalled right-winger Adam Klapka, who has notched 10 goals and 21 points so far this season with the AHL’s Wranglers.
#Flames are calling up Adam Klapka from the AHL Wranglers. 10 goals and 21 points in 33 games this season with the Wranglers.
#Flames have Dennis Gilbert on IR per NHL media site. Brings the active roster down to 22 players. Adds flexibility if team wants to recall a forward from the AHL Wranglers before Walker Duehr clears waivers. Adam Klapka, Clark Bishop, Matt Coronato all interesting options.
I’m really curious whether #Flames forward Walker Duehr clears waivers tomorrow. Showed last winter he has the size and speed to be a force on the forecheck. Hasn’t had the same impact this season, but still only 26 and signed for just above NHL’s minimum salary.
Evidently, Duehr on waivers would open up a roster spot. Gotta imagine a call-up or other transaction is in the works #Flames
Placed on NHL waivers today: Walker Duehr (CGY).
