Obviously the Flames aren't calling Coronato up to play on the 4th line, but they do need to make room for him to get back into the show sooner than later. He's done nothing but produce in the AHL with 29 points in 26 games or whatever it is.
Pelletier is also going to be pushing to get back in as well so does this mean that Dube and Ruzicka are the next on the list to hit waivers to make room for two prospects that should be in the NHL? At some point Wolf needs to stick as well.....many many things that need to take shape in the coming weeks.

Yeah, I've been saying for a while now that we have a glut of wingers and ought to move some to clear the logjam. Problem is that they're playing well enough that you don't want to move them and/or they are under team control so you don't HAVE to move them. If you subscribe to the idea that the 4th line has to have some kind of defined role that makes it more difficult as well.
The easiest solution in the short-term is move Dube & Pospisil takes his spot in the line-up then Pelletier or Coronoto fills in the vacant spot and then Lindholm is moved and you shift a winger to C (Sharangovich or Zary most likely) and the other one moves into that spot. No guarantee they would excel at playing C but it's the easiest way to make room for those two in the back half of this season that aligns with other things (Lindholm's pending free agency).
