What happened to Duncan Siemens? Wasn't he once a very good prospect?

[FlamesAddiction]

Same thing with Frk.

[Da_Chief]

Stanislav Galiev has always intrigued me. I doubt they claim anyone though.

[#BoringMonahan]

Lots of buzz on Twitter that Galiev will be claimed. With lack of depth on RW, any chance we take a chance on him here?

Would LOVE Galiev here in CGY.

I'm always curious about a man without vowels.

Frk is a former Moosehead, 44 points in 67 AHL games last year. Wings are notorious for over ripening prospects, maybe he's a decent stopgap on the right side.

Frk is crap


Galiev is interesting because Washington really tried to avoid exposing him to waivers prior to this. They must like him

[AC]

Quick look on Reddit and Detroit fans are convinced Frk will get claimed. "I'd rather Pulkkinen on waivers."

27 goals and 17 assists in 67 AHL games last year.

[savardandjokinen]

I'd be happy if we got Galiev and gave him a shot with johnny and mony. Always have liked him

[Monahan For Mayor]

Claim Galiev. He can't be worse than Chiasson.

Shoots right and his shot is described as a howitzer based on a quick google search.

Sounds like he could be a fit in Calgary...

[FlamesAddiction]

I would rather take a chance on Frk than Galiev. He is almost 2 full years younger.

[flamesrule14]

What's the deal with Galiev? I assumed he was injured for most of last season. Stats are pretty underwhelming. 3 assists in 24 games doesn't exactly excite me. I have no idea what is role on the caps was though.

I was a big fan of Frk his draft year. Don't know if he's really an upgrade over a guy like Shinkaruk.

The caps are fluch with top 6 RW and C's Galiev just hasn't been able to push past the likes of Backstrom, Ovie, Kuznetsov, Oshie and so on. He is a good player, stuck on a really deep team.

Dustin Tokarski: further proof that world juniors don't mean anything when it comes to goalies...

He was barely adequate at the World Juniors too - it wasn't like he Pogge'd the tournament and barely let in a goal.

Tokarski has one famous save. It so happens to be a part of the last truly enjoyable WJC (for my part, anyways)

If someone recommends we pick up Ferarro... Well, I don't know what I'd do but I sure won't be happy with them.

But...but we'd get a better PBP bias from his dad!

Duncan Seimens stock has really fallen from being a former 11th overall pick
