Kerins was placed on waivers by the Flames on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Calgary.
Kerins has spent most of the past two years in the AHL, most recently recording 22 goals and 35 assists across 56 regular-season appearances with the Wranglers during the 2025-26 campaign. He remained with the Flames during the offseason on a one-year, two-way contract he signed in late June, and he'll head back to the minors as long as he clears waivers.
