Yan and Solo up.
Grush can continue to cook but boy oh boy is he poised and steady at the wheel. I think his late start in the preseason was because they wanted to see how he played against better competition.
Kirkland is losing his job, depending when the flames send him I think he clears. The reduced foot speed is noticeable sadly, could just need the minutes in the A and called up later in the year due to injuries.
Kerins has absolutely pushed, has chemistry with Klapka - I think he breaks through.
Goalie battle is over.

Looking at the roster and how training camp has shaped up I don't think Conroy and crew have too many hard decisions to make. Unless they're emotionally attached to some players waiving Bean, Miromanov and Kirkland is a no brainer. Joel Hanley as well. Plenty of talk about Kerins needing to play up the roster as well, but if he's better than Farabee, play with there.
Also full props to Kerins, this is a guy that's never impressed me too much. He seemed utterly lost at times but the Flames were patient. Couldn't stick in the AHL as a 20 year old, slowly found his game as a 21 year old, and really formed into a good player at 22. There is no way you send him down at this point, and it's not even a waiver discussion, he's been good he should be with the big club.
