Flames' Martin Frk: Waived by Flames
Frk was placed on waivers Sunday for assignment to AHL Calgary, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Frk signed a two-way deal with the Flames after playing last year in Switzerland. The 30-year-old winger last played in the NHL in 2021, when he scored two goals in six games. Frk figures to spend the bulk of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he'll provide some scoring depth for the Flames.

Frk agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Calgary on Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Frk will give the NHL another shot after spending last season playing in Switzerland for Bern SC and Rapperswil-Jona.

Heading into training camp, Frk is far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster and could spend significant time in the minors.
