Flames' Devante Smith-Pelly: Secures tryout

Smith-Pelly signed a professional tryout agreement with Calgary on Wednesday.

Smith-Pelly averaged a mere 10:51 of ice time with the Capitals last season and would likely be limited to a similar role if he secured a permanent deal from the Flames. The winger would certainly add some grit and experience to a relatively young group of forwards, but would need to not only beat out fellow camp invitees Tobias Rieder and Zac Rinaldo, but also up-and-coming prospects Buddy Robinson and Dillon Dube for a spot on the 23-man roster.
