2013/14 General Heat Discussion Thread

[Freeway]

They didn't recall anybody, so either Jiri's fine OR somebody else (Galiardi or Stajan) are ready to go tomorrow.

Did some checking. Gaudreau/Agostino/Arnold COULD pull a Paul Carey and sign an NHL deal with the Flames and report to the Heat for the playoffs on an ATO. David Eddy did this, too.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the rule. It goes for our signed junior players as well, so they don't use a year of eligibility..

With all the bodies being recalled to Calgary, Heat sign Jordan Knackstedt. He was a former pick of the Boston Bruins

Jordan is listed as a RW. I imagine he will fill in on the 4th line where Lamb was playing earlier this week.

Nope, I think we are getting guys back actually.

Hanowski for sure, and maybe Knight.

Hartley reporting in his post game press-conference that Granlund's injury "Does not look good".

Tough break for the kid who was playing unbelievable hockey at both the AHL and NHL level.

Connolly getting called up from Alaska. BOOK IT

Huge blow for the Heat as Granlund could have been a guy coming back:

Wes Gilbertson ‏@SUNGilbertson 46m
#Flames have placed C Markus Granlund on injured reserve. The 20-year-old suffered a suspected shoulder injury Monday, out indefinitely.

Also, Hanowski is expected to sit out tonight's game with Glencross and Westgarth returning. Hopefully he's on a plane by Friday. He would be help in the lineup.

I'd assume he will, they are probably just keeping him around to make sure than both guys make it through the game fine.

Welcome Back, Max Power??

#AHLHeat announced today that they have recalled forward Brendan Connolly from the @AlaskaAces. Read More ~ http://ow.ly/uwqf8

[The Eliminator]

On AHL trade deadline, Heat acquire Tim Miller from San Antonio for future considerations. Now hopefully they have enough forwards with the re-assignments of Reinhart and Connolly along with this trade
