Wes Gilbertson ‏@SUNGilbertson 38s #Flames have assigned D Keegan Kanzig and RW Emile Poirier to AHL Abbotsford after both were eliminated in major-junior playoffs.

Awesome news.. big blow to the Heat roster losing a few top players to the Flames and then not getting them back due to injuries. Hopefully some of our younger players can help fill the gaps.

^ Poirier replacing Granlund

Kanzig replacing Wotherspoon

That's a pretty good roster, hopefully we go far.

Heat get big angry defenceman and a scoring speedster agitator. Good additions.

Brandon Astle ‏@brandon_astle 28m Ward said last week that he wants the draft picks to play. Expecting Poirier to possibly make his professional debut tomorrow vs. Rampage.

What's likely to happen with Poirier next year? A cup of coffee in the NHL and then a year in the AHL?

Assuming AHL first, will probably see some NHL time when injuries happen.

Granlunds been skating so I don't think he's too far off.

Poirier's able to play in the Q, the AHL or the NHL next year due to his age.
