The Calgary Flames invited defenceman Tyson Barrie to training camp on a player tryout agreement and also reached agreement with blueliner Jarred Tinordi on a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced Tuesday.

The Victoria, B.C., native has 109 goals and 396 assists in 809 games split between the Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, and Predators.
