I heard/read that Miller has already stated he wont waive unless its in California.

There was a report he would agree to go to San Jose but that was it.

With the way things have gone over the last week, I think it's likely that Treliving has backed off on searching for a goalie.

The Penguins are a team to keep your eye on.

They lost both their top 2 D yesterday on the same sequence in the first period and neither returned. Dumolin got blown up by Wayne Simmonds and has a concussion, while Letang got hurt in the ensuing melee and left with an upper body injury.

I suspect their medical staff will already be hard at it today figuring out how long these guys may be out so Rutherford can try and address it.

So Brodie for Malkin would have to happen now for it to make sense?

I'd be happy to see the flames in on the big fish, driving up the price on the jets/preds/sharks, then ducking out and getting a more low key, depth forward option.

Either a skill and/or grit upgrade, without downgrading on speed for mangiapane & czarnik. Both have looked good the last little while, but giving the flames options if their play falls back as playoff intensity kicks in.

I mean, being able to swap the new guy in, not trading mangiapane/czarnik as part of the deal.

He's a useful player. Underrated defensively, one of the more productive 5v5 players in the NHL, and has offensive skills that a lot of this fanbase seems to ignore because they think streakiness isn't a thing (like Backlund isn't streaky? Like Tkachuk hasn't disappeared for a while? Where's Gaudreau's goal scoring lately?). His size is also of the functional sort, which opens up space for some of our smaller players when teams are clogging it up.

More importantly than any of that, he's an absolute beast on the forecheck and brings a combination of nearly Czarnik's speed and more than Neal's physicality, and he can shoot the puck with anyone on this roster.

I'm gonna toss this out there, these stats are strictly 5v5

Line A
659:19 minutes
53.11% unblocked shots
61.39% Goals

Line B
955:40 minutes
51.97% unblocked shots
61.78% Goals

Can you tell me which line is Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm and which line is Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland? Because those numbers are pretty damn close if you ask me. Despite one group playing for Peters and the other for Gulutzan.

So where would he fit?

Maybe you could even do

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Backlund-Lindholm

and have a far more balanced top six.

Or maybe you could do

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Ferland-Bennett-Czarnik

Hey, that looks like a better top 9 than our current one too. That third line would be an absolute nightmare on the forecheck.
I'm all about moving Bennett back to centre. I think it's the logical option if the Flames bring in winger of any kind. The fourth line has been playing so well and Jankowski has been over his head a bit I could see him coming out of the line up for a few games at least before they figure something out.

Also I think Bennetts game is built for centre. He needs the puck with speed and there is much more opportunity for that from the centre position. Also then we could potentially see the Tkachuk - Bennett - Lindholm line that I've been dying to see.

Lindholm could help on strong side faceoffs and i think his ability to protect pucks and drive to the net would be perfect for Bennett as he scores most of his goals by crashing the net anyways.

Poile has said that a big-name deadline acquisition likely would come at the cost of a player of Fiala's ilk, and/or a top prospect like Eeli Tolvanen and draft picks.
Pretty decent package if you go Fiala and Tolvanen and a 1st.

reminder that the 23 man roster limit gets lifted at 12:01 AM tonight.

From that time teams can have as many players on the NHL roster as they want provided they are still cap compliant and under the 50 contract limit.

And dont any players teams want eligible for the AHL playoffs need to be on those rosters as of midnight/tomorrow as well?

Should be a lot waivers today if that's the case.

To be eligible to play in the AHL playoffs, a player must be assigned to the AHL at the NHL trade deadline. So, yes, there should be a busier waiver wire today.

The Heat basically have no chance of making the playoffs, so that probably won't be an issue for the Flames.

If teams want players eligible to be assigned to the AHL after the deadline, they must be on the AHL roster at the deadline tomorrow at 3pm ET.

The caveat being even doing a paper transaction of sending the player to the AHL for the deadline and then immediately calling them up after the deadline, counts as one of the team's 4 regular call ups for the rest of the season.

For example:
Andersson, Kylington, Mangiapane, Lazar could be sent down to keep their AHL eligibility intact, but would use up all 4 regular recalls to bring them back to the NHL roster after the deadline. In that scenario, the Flames would be only left with emergency recalls for the rest of the season.

I would imagine Andersson does not get sent down.

Kylington might especially if they pick up a veteran LHD like they are rumored to be.

Mangiapane might if they get a forward.

Lazar likely gets sent down.

It might be an issue for cap reasons, depending on what they do.

True. Depending on players in/players out, we could see players sent down to free up cap space, but AHL playoff eligibility won't likely be a factor for the Flames like it has been at past trade deadlines.

In terms of waivers, we won't likely see any Flames waived today because the only ones who might get sent down are either exempt or still in their previous clearance window.

icon57 Rental targets for the Flames

Flames GM Brad Treliving last week on Sportsnet 960.
Quote:
“This is the first time since I’ve been here that I can see us being in the rental market.”
Quote:
potential rental targets for the Flames

Mark Stone – right wing – A swinging for the fences type trade.

Wayne Simmonds – right wing – Somewhat struggling this season but should still score 20 goals. Brings “snarl and tenacity.”

Patrik Nemeth – defense – The rental market is thin on the blueline. The Flames have been linked to him. The Avs are in the playoff race and may not want to trade him team that they could face in the first round.

Kevin Hayes – center/left wing – Hayes and Johnny Gaudreau have been friends since they played in Boston College.
