I'd be super happy if that happened. As it is, we have veterans like Bean who are pretty close to replacement level, and Hanley who is 34, and likely a #6 on a good team at best. That's already blocking spots for guys like Kuznetsov and Solovyov who might be just as good as them if not better. Never mind letting someone like Brzu getting a chance to play.
We already have a log jam of d-men knocking on the door of the NHL, but guys like Miromanov are still in the organization. He is what he is, an emergency d-man call up who looks okay at times, but is still pretty bad. It was worth a shot, but now it's over, and we have better players that need his spot in the organization.
I'm already worried that he goes to the AHL and takes minutes away from guys down there. They need the playing time over Miro.
I hope he's claimed. It'd be ideal for him and for the organization.
