The loss of Grant is a huge blow.
A line of Shinkaruk - Grant - Poirier would have been fun.
Looks like it will be Shinkaruk - Shore - Poirier
But losing your top C. and the leading goal scorer in the league, is a lousy first step towards a massive playoff run.
Then you have Nakladal and Wotherspoon called up. Another huge blow.
And Ortio.
After the deadline, there will probably be more. It's a fact of life in the AHL, but the Heat are going to experience more than their fair share.
