But at the time of signing him, if the Flames signed him longer, this site would've melted. Even with this short show me deal, remember all the negativity?

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

I actually remember wishing it was 3-4 years at the time of the deal.

Just because if you're investing in this guy you might as well go all in.

[Flamescuprun2018]

Needed a bump. What a night! What a shot!

4 point night in the midst of Trade Deadline mania.

Did Conman find us a 1C in Sharkey?

His productivity has been excellent even after transition to center.

He has completely turned Huby's season around.

He is also defensively responsible.

Sure does not feel like we are in for a long rebuild with a player like that at age 26.

Coronato looked good tonite on his RW.

Please get the spelling right its Yegoal scoringoalvitch.

Besides that that could we have inadvertently found a number one c ?
Anyone poo pooing this trade i dont get it. Almost thirty goals. Defensively decent. Good skater. Shot that’s unreal. Did i mention you could just toss him in as your number one center? Oh and a great guy?

Extend this guy. If he is a center this team could be deadly.

[Jiggy_12]

I would love it if we locked him down for a few years. Not one I want to see traded

[ForeverFlameFan]

No way you trade this guy with the chemistry he has with Hubs.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

He's had two transition periods this year so far.

The first was joining the team and playing on the 4th line, showing that he could play a solid 2-way role. He passed that audition.

Then he was given a spot at wing in the top 6, and he started scoring in bunches. Can he play offense? Check.

The team moves Lindholm out, and because of necessity, they ask him to move back to center, but this time in a top 6 role. He definitely saw his offense suffer as he adjusted back to center against top competiton, but held his own defensively.

Now, we see that he can add a lot of offense while having solid defensive numbers.

In his last 7 games, he has 9 points and is a +9.

Yegor Sharangovich is currently our #1 center. That is a sentence I would not have possibly thought at the beginning of the year.

This is why you never say with certainty what the future holds for a team. I saw someone say today on this forum that the Flames don't have a shot at a competitive team until 2030. WTF???!!! This league is full of so many variables that a team's fortune can change on a dime (see: Flames post playoff loss to Edmonton...dun dun dun). It's also why I love this G.M.'s M.O.: Find players that are buried on good teams. If you give a guy an opportunity to flourish that he's not getting somewhere else, not only might he pop, but he'll also be eternally loyal to a franchise that gave him that shot and believed in him. That guy will go through the wall for his team, and won't act like a mercenary (like so many recent players we traded away).

That's how you build a good team and a good culture. Keep on this path. This is the way.

A philosophy for success as a Canadian NHL franchise! Well said!

I think we have ourselves a very special GM!

Also why im not willing to say to much on the supposed throw in for Hanifin. I think conroy is the pro scout we have been missing or is listening to the guys who are.

It's crazy to see how he has adjusted both to first line duties, then as the top line center.

Unbelievably skilled, great shot, and can play both sides of the puck.

What a turn of events if he pans out, not only as a player here, but a better center than Lindholm extended would've been. Like, whuuuut?

Side note - did we inadvertently discover Coronato's future spot in this line up??

The Flames are using an interesting strategy by acquiring players who have been pushed down the lineup.
On most teams your top six guys are going to be used more and then you're going to have some players who are under the radar but are not really getting an opportunity because of low ice time. Kind of like Sam Bennett.

What's more interesting is that they're not looking for players who traditionally are considered to have high-end skill but looking a little deeper.

It's a similar strategy that Florida used to pick up players who might not be happy on their current teams but are "obvious" skilled players, but the ones the Flames are targeting , are not so obvious. This is a good strategy because you're getting players who've had to mature by playing within the system but not getting opportunities to play higher up in the lineup.

Dallas was raving about how much Calgary knew about their player. A player that more likely would have been under the radar for other teams.

Nothing to see here! It's just a shooting percentage heater. Everyone go on home!

Coronato looked good tonite on his RW.

No, Sharangovich isn’t a #1C. He looks overmatched and out of his depth at centre.

He looks perfect on RW with Huberdeau.

Huberdeau-Mercer-Sharky would be a solid stopgap first line.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

He's a fine stop gap.

Better on wing to this point, but he's improving steadily with center duties.

Isn't that basically what Vegas did starting with the expansion draft? I like the strategy.

The team did hire three new pro scouts last summer: Kerry Huffman, Brad Richardson, and Billy Powers. So far, it looks like money well spent.

THAT Kerry Huffman and THAT Brad Richardson??? I know it’s not THAT Billy Powers (RIP)

[mogg]

Not a lot of guys can rip it from distance like that.
