wranglers Calgary Wranglers 2023 Playoffs Thread



Tonight the Wranglers can clinch First Overall (and a first round series bye) with a win in Abbotsford vs. the Canucks.

They also need Coachella Valley to lose tonight in order to clinch, otherwise it will come down to the last game of the season (for the second year in a row).


Wranglers win + Firebirds loss = First clinched
Wranglers OTL + Firebirds regulation loss = First clinched

Any other result = Wait until Saturday

Probably going to have an "Everything you need to know about the Wranglers before the playoffs" primer done up in the next day or two.

I can't wait the schedule to come out, would love to catch a game or two if it's on a weekend.

Is Coronato going to play for the Wranglers?

He can't this season because of the rules surrounding when he could be signed as a college player.

He would have had to have been on their roster before the trade deadline. Which is why Pelts and Duer were sent down and up via a paper transaction that day.

I think there was some rule or reason that made him ineligible.

I'll admit to being a bandwagoner but I don't care. Go Wranglers! Hoping to take my kids to a game so they can feel the energy of a playoff run. Not the same as '04 but maybe it'll give them the hockey bug all the same.

He can't because he wanted to make NHL money and burn the first year of his ELC. He could have signed an ATO contract, which would have allowed him to play in the AHL.

Just got an email that Wranglers enforcer Alex Gallant has been suspended three games for a headshot on Danila Klimovich against the Canucks the other night. He'll miss the last two games of the regular season and Game 1 of the first Wranglers playoff series, although I'm not sure he would've dressed for that in any event.

For what it's worth I'm not sure an ATO allows you to be eligible for the playoffs. I could be wrong though. The NHL rule exists so you can't stack your team with ringers for the playoffs.

Pretty sure he could have signed his entry level contract to start in September for three years and sign an ATO now to play with the Wranglers for the remainder of regular season and playoffs. He wouldn't have played with the Flames this current season so he wouldn't have burned the first year of his ELC.

My understanding is Coronato would have been eligible for the AHL playoffs on an ATO. Similar to how Matthew Phillips made his AHL debut back in 2017.

It does. Dube played for Stockton in the playoffs in 2017 on an ATO.

I am surprised Gilbert didn’t get a chance to be on the roster. Was it cause they couldn’t send him down without risk of losing him on waivers? I presume that is the reason as he showed he is an NHL defenceman this year.

Yes, at the trade deadline, he would have required waivers to be sent down and they didn't want to risk it.
