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.

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.

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.

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.

It really seems like a Conroy has a vision of pairing offensive defensemen with physical stay at home defenders.

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.

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.

Freddy Andersen is back off IR and playing tonight. Sounds like they want a scoring winger.

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.

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.

Dreger saying to expect an extension for Miromanov.

Seems pretty underwhelming. I am kind of hoping that it’s a 2025 1st.

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.

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.

They don’t need Markstrom.

It wasn’t announced, the insiders said it was done, but I am sure they are either working on the extension and/or a 3rd party broker for the cap hit.

On a side note LA just extended Moverare for 2 years at pretty much league minimum, after putting him on waivers early today.

Conroy is loving the Russian defensemen. Miromanov is 6’4” 26 years old and a RHS. Has put up good numbers in the AHL the last few years, but hasn’t cracked the NHL roster except for 28 games over 3 seasons.

Minimum 10 games and 24 days, plus you have to have cap space once they are clear to return.

Martinez’s cap hit still counts when on IR, if he was on LTIR then Vegas could go over the cap by the amount of his cap hit, but he isn’t on LTIR.

Just to add Martinez going on IR doesn’t give Vegas any extra cap space, just an extra roster spot.

LA is one destination Hanifin might sign long term.

Have to think something We didn’t have a 25 year old second line center who is a pending RFA. Lindholm wasn’t getting Byram.

Byram to Buffalo for Middlestadt.
