  1. He needs to get his mojo back. He is at his best when he is flying around out there and being relentless on the puck.
  2. He should be eligible for the AHL playoffs because he is on a tryout agreement. The rule is more there so NHL teams don’t just send all their top young players down and really shift the balance in the AHL playoffs.
  3. Miromanov continues to impress in the early going. Small sample size but he is sporting a 53.2 SAT%, while only getting 38% OZ starts. To me that is a strong indicator that he is moving the puck in the right direction and getting it out of our zone more often than not.
  4. My really basic top 16 with very little knowledge would be: 1. Macklin Celebrini 2. Ivan Demidov 3. Artyom Levshunov 4. Zayne Parekh 5. Sam Dickinson 6. Anton Silayev 7. Cayden Lindstrom 8. Cole Eiserman 9. Carter Yakemchuk 10. Berkly Catton 11. Zeev Buium 12. Konsta Helenius 13. Tij Iginla 14. Liam Greentree 15. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard 16. Adam Jiricek
  5. I would almost rather they didn't draft Tij Iginla, talk about putting an unfair amount of pressure on a kid. Drafting a kid to team where his Dad was the greatest player in Franchise history, is widely celebrated and still works for the organization, it's just asking for heartache. If the draft falls in such a way that the Flames have no choice but to draft him, sure, but I wouldn't go into the draft looking to draft him at all costs. It has nothing to do with him as player either, because I think he will be very good, I just think the risk of it going bad is infinitely higher in Calgary than anywhere else.
  6. This is awesome news. I love the work Conroy has done to rebuild the defensive depth, an area that was a concern before Zadorov, Tanev and Hanifin left. There is still more work to be done, but it looks there are some players in the pipeline.
  7. It is going to be really interesting to see where Demidov goes in the draft. How many teams are going to be scared off by the lack of viewings and games against peer talent? Michkov fell to 7th last year, not all because of the Russian factor, he also is under contract till 2026. Demidov is under contract till 2025. We also have Denis Grebeshkov scouting in Russia, wonder how that will impact this draft for Calgary.
  8. For sure, I think he has the ability and it shouldn’t be too big of a problem for him to get stronger and quicker. Zary and Pospisil both have improved their skating dramatically since their draft years. I didn’t think Pospisil would get much of a chance at the NHL because his skating was lacking.
  9. Personally I would send Coronato back to the AHL, now that Pospisil is back from suspension. He isn’t ready, I would have preferred that they called up Schwindt last time instead of Coronato. Leave him there for the remainder of the season and let him dominate, have a good run in the playoffs. Next year I think he makes a strong push to make the roster.
  10. It could just be me, but it looks like Coronato needs to find another step if he wants to be more productive at this level. You can see that he is willing to work for the puck, and thinks the game fairly well, he just looks a step behind. Hopefully he can work on this in the offseason.
  11. It’s pretty interesting that in his first two games as a Flame Miromanov played 18:59 and 20:26 minutes, third in each game behind Andersson and Weegar. Seems he is gaining the trust of Huska. I missed the game against Carolina, but the game in Florida I thought he played well. Seemed to have a good knack for when to jump up and when to stay back, made a few nice passes out of the zone, stayed controlled in the defensive zone. Didn’t really do anything flashy, but played a simple game for the most part. I did like that he seems to have a shooting mentality from the point.
  12. Not to mention it would have taken up their last retention slot, which would have tied their hands on any deals today and at the draft.
  13. It really seems like a Conroy has a vision of pairing offensive defensemen with physical stay at home defenders.
  14. Yeah, it will be interesting for sure. I will say Kylington’s game has calmed down a lot since he came back, making much better decisions. I wonder if the Flames have to look at Sharangovich at C long term. He has held his own, he has been an impressive 200 foot player this season.
  15. MEP is a winger, he hasn’t played C in the AHL that I know of. I am guessing that Rooney is getting traded, which means a C from the Wranglers will be called up, so the Wranglers will be short a C. Not too mention that Zary was playing C there and got called up.
  16. Freddy Andersen is back off IR and playing tonight. Sounds like they want a scoring winger.
  17. Wonder how the d-pairings will shape out once Miromanov arrives. Kylington-Andersson Weegar-Miromanov Hanley-Pachal Pachal has been a really nice pickup, he is steady and gives a nice physical presence to the bottom pairing. I am excited to see what Miromanov can do. Big RHS defenseman with a big shot. He only transitioned to defense in junior.
  18. I was hoping we would land Anderson-Dolan, but Nashville picked him up. I could make a case for claiming Deangelo, as we need defense who can eat minutes, but his history suggests he is a player you don’t want anywhere near your young players.
  19. Dreger saying to expect an extension for Miromanov.
  20. Seems pretty underwhelming. I am kind of hoping that it’s a 2025 1st.
  21. It never went to the NHL. My guess is that Calgary and Vegas have agreed to a deal in principle. Vegas is now trying to get a 3rd party broker to take on cap, because Vegas still wants to add another winger and wants to make sure they have room to do it. This is pretty normal this time of year.
  22. Hill has been better than Markstrom, just hasn’t been healthy. Vegas just signed Hill to a big extension, they have no need or reason to trade for Markstrom.
