Just noticed Kenny Agostino leads the AHL in points, with 58 in 46 games. Beating the second place guy (Jordan Weal) by 13 points and a considerable gap on his own.
Ugh.
I can't imagine he'd be doing as well with the Heat, he may be leading the AHL in points but Agostino is more playmaker than goal scorer and the Heat lack a pure goal scorer.
yet, the Blues haven't called him up once, despite calling up Rattie, Paajarvi, Megan, Barbashev and played that useless sack of crap, Yakupov. Landon Ferraro was likely ahead on the depth chart as well since he was the last cut in camp, but now out for the season with an injury
Agostino is pretty low on the depth chart, and not much to fret over
It is kind of odd Agostino's not getting a look though.

Ugh what?
Oh no! We lost a career minor leaguer!

I'm not concerned about losing Agostino, I'm concerned that he leaves the team and goes on to have a career season. Nobody seems to ever impress on the Flames AHL affiliate. Poirier was good then fell off, Shinkaruk scored a lot more before coming to the Heat etc.

If they are that far off from the NHL then we should be tossing them into trades at the deadline
Yes, because that's how you build depth in an organization: you trade 19 and 20 year old defensemen because they aren't NHL ready yet.
Good god.
In order to have depth, you have to fill the pipeline. The Flames have had no depth on defense for a very long time. They finally build a stable of good young players and you want to start tossing them away because they aren't in the NHL at 20.

It would be nice to see this team make the playoffs for once wouldn't it? They have absolutely fallen off a cliff. Huska has to feel a bit nervous. He has a decent enough roster but he doesn't seem to get the most out of them.

I really hope Huska gets the can after this season. He's had back to back seasons of underwhelming performances and has provided the Flames with few graduates outside of Hathaway and Kulak. Even Ward provided the Flames with Byron, Ferland, and Granlund.

I don't disagree with your premise but didn't Byron grow up in the Sabres system?
Can't help but feel Kylington is too good for the AHL in the offensive zone (look at the moves and confidence he has there) but sadly still not good enough with puck in his own end. Hard to develop that side of the game when the other comes so naturally and easily iy seems.
