Andrew Nielsen: Not qualified by Calgary
The Flames didn't extend Nielsen a qualifying offer, so he's scheduled to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agency Friday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Flames' Andrew Nielsen: Packs bags for Calgary
The Maple Leafs traded Nielsen to the Flames in exchange for Morgan Klimchuk on Tuesday.
Nielsen's a rugged defenseman with 68 points and 237 PIM over 152 AHL games, but he has yet to suit up in the NHL since being drafted by the Leafs in the third round of the 2015 NHL draft. A change of scenery may suit Nielsen, but he'll likely start out in AHL Stockton.
