FlamesNation Prospect Update: Trade deadline survivors

6 years ago

Despite furious armchair GMing, the Flames prospects escaped the trade deadline without any losses. Well, besides the yet to be named 16-year-old Finnish kid the Senators will draft. We’ll miss him.

In case you missed it

Here’s the last update, guest hosted by Ryan.
We opened the floor to ask how the Flames should handle Jon Gillies while he’s here.
Morgan Klimchuk went back down to Stockton.
And Andrew Mangiapane came back up (along with Tanner Glass, but eh) and then went back down again…
… with Jon Gillies and David Rittich, but those two were only paper transactions to keep them eligible for the AHL playoffs.

Rasmus Andersson – D, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	45	7	26	33	21	19	14	28.26
Change from last week	3	1	2	3	2	2	2	+0.73

The Flames didn’t trade Michael Stone at deadline which, barring injuries, keeps Andersson in the AHL for the rest of the year. He’ll presumably score the lights out and just generally be awesome. You feel that making a spot for Ramsus is an offseason priority for the Flames.

Slightly unrelated, but when I went searching for Andersson gifs on Twitter, there were a lot of opposing fans who thought Rasmus would be on their team at 1 p.m. It was cute.

Austin Carroll – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	26	5	2	7	7	6	6	10.38
Change from last week	3	1	1	2	2	1	1	+2

Carroll is heating up at the right time. He’s pretty much in a fight for a second contract at the end of the year, and the honest take is that he’s not a candidate to be qualified. If he does more of these, he could earn another look:

Dillon Dube – C/LW, Kelowna Rockets, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	44	32	35	67	35	51	27	36.21
Change from last week	3	5	3	8	5	7	5	+1.99

The star system doesn’t really mean much, but Dube went three for three on the first stars this week. That sounds pretty good.

Zach Fischer – RW, Spokane Chiefs, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	46	22	14	36	25	25	20	18.61
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Still injured with a UBI. No timetable for a return.

Spencer Foo – RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	48	15	14	29	15	24	11	23.28
Change from last week	3	2	1	3	2	2	1	+1.01

Foo has been on fire recently, scoring two goals (one shorthanded) this week. With Mangiapane now down in Stockton for the time being, he’ll have extra help to keep Stockton’s playoff push alive.

Adam Fox – D, Harvard Crimson, ECAC

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	25	3	17	20	6	9	2	15.09
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	-0.49

Just an assist this week. He won’t play for two weeks until the ECAC tournament. Harvard is the fourth seed, so they’ll face off either against Dartmouth (5) or St. Lawrence (12). Given that St. Lawrence only won three ECAC games, they’re probably headed home early. Harvard also got trounced by Dartmouth in their two meetings this year, so it’s very likely Harvard is out early. That means Fox could be a Flame as early as March 10. Get excited.

Also, Calder contender Clayton Keller has some praise for Fox:

Glenn Gawdin – C/RW, Swift Current Broncos, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	62	54	62	116	60	88	46	44.49
Change from last week	3	3	2	5	1	5	1	-0.25

It’s a bit wild that Gawdin can score five points in three games and his NHLe will still go down. He can also fight, if that’s what you’re into.

Josh Healey – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	0	2	2	1	1	0	2.14
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.13

Played two games of hockey this week.

Jaromir Jagr – RW, Rytiri Kladno, Czech.1

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	5	0	4	4	4	2	2	18.37
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Our oldest prospect suffered a concussion last week after a brutal hit and hasn’t played since.

D’Artagnan Joly – RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar, QMJHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	47	22	38	60	35	51	31	26.17
Change from last week	3	5	4	9	6	9	6	+2.95

Joly won the QMJHL’s player of the week award for scoring a stellar nine points in three games. What’s more impressive is that all of his points were primary, having been the primary factor on about one-third of Drakkar goals. The Flames really might’ve found a diamond in the rough in D’Artagnan (D’iamond?).

Pavel Karnaukhov – LW/C, CSKA Moscow, KHL/Zvezda, VHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
KHL current	11	0	2	2	2	1	1	11.03
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
VHL current	40	14	19	33	21	27	17	25.71
Change from last week	1	2	0	2	2	2	2	+0.94

Karnaukhov’s season is over now, as both the KHL and VHL seasons have wrapped up and playoffs have begun. We’ll have a wrap-up post shortly.

Morgan Klimchuk – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	47	16	15	31	19	25	16	25.42
Change from last week	3	3	1	4	2	4	2	1.77

Klimchuk got a taste of the NHL action and is trying to make sure he can get another. Three goals and an assist for him this weekend.

Oliver Kylington – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	44	3	24	27	18	18	13	23.65
Change from last week	3	1	1	2	2	1	1	+0.15

Kylington continues his solid production, adding two more points.

Linus Lindstrom – C/LW, Skelleftea AIK, SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	3	1	4	3	3	2	5.44
Change from last week	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.16

Back from Sweden’s Olympic break. Played a game.

Ryan Lomberg – LW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	38	5	11	16	14	9	8	16.22
Change from last week	1	0	2	2	2	1	1	1.56

Like Klimchuk, Lomberg is certainly itching to get back into the NHL. He had two assists in his one game since being reassigned.

Andrew Mangiapane – LW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	19	23	42	24	31	20	44.96
Change from last week	1	0	1	1	1	1	1	-0.19

Mangiapane’s yoyo tour between the NHL and AHL is likely coming to a rest now that he’s been put back in the AHL. It is probably for the best that he is playing somewhere rather than eating popcorn. For what it’s worth, Mangiapane still leads the Heat in scoring despite his numerous absences. He is nine points up on Rasmus Andersson with nine fewer games played, and 11 points up on Klimchuk with 11 fewer games.

Mitchell Mattson – C/LW, Sioux Falls Stampede, USHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	44	9	11	20	15	18	13	10.44
Change from last week	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	-0.49

Two games, no points for Mattson.

Adam Ollas Mattsson – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	14	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Injured.

Matthew Phillips – C/RW, Victoria Royals, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	63	44	56	100	45	74	36	37.75
Change from last week	2	0	1	1	0	0	0	-0.84

Good and bad news for Phillips. He only registered a noise assist this week and saw his 22-game point streak snapped, but he did hit 100 points for the year, the second Flames prospect to do so.

Emile Poirier – LW/RW, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	48	4	17	21	13	18	11	16.86
Change from last week	3	0	3	3	2	2	1	+1.44

A trio of assists for Poirier this week. He is also fighting for another contract, so this looks good for him.

Brett Pollock – LW/C, Stockton Heat, AHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	27	5	3	8	5	6	4	11.42
Change from last week	3	1	1	2	2	2	2	1.78

Pollock got back onto the scoresheet after weeks of nothing. The guy really shows up in bursts.

Daniel Pribyl – RW/C, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Still injured.

Rushan Rafikov – D, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	36	1	10	11	10	7	6	18.54
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Injured since December. Will be included with Karnaukhov’s prospect wrap-up.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sarnia Sting, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	56	33	37	70	34	57	30	30.75
Change from last week	3	1	8	9	2	5	2	+2.44

A big week for Ruzicka, who busted out of a slump with a nine-point week.

Hunter Shinkaruk – F, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	47	15	11	26	16	22	15	21.32
Change from last week	3	2	1	3	2	3	2	+1.17

Shinkaruk is also heating up. He’s one of the RFAs that I think gets another look. He’s not having the greatest season, but he’s looking much better as time passes.

Hunter Smith – RW, Kansas City Mavericks, ECHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	35	9	8	17	13	17	13	11.15
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Smith is recovering from an upper-body injury. He hasn’t played since Jan. 6.

Filip Sveningsson – LW, HV71, Superelit/SHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
SHL current	11	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Superelit current	32	16	22	38	22	29	17	19.48
Change from last week	2	2	1	3	2	2	1	0.35

Sveningsson returned from the Olympic break to score three points in Superelit top 10 action.

Eetu Tuulola – RW, HPK, SM-Liiga

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	46	14	9	23	9	17	8	17.63
Change from last week	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

No games this week for Tuulola.

Juuso Valimaki – D, Tri-City Americans, WHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	32	11	21	32	19	21	13	23.78
Change from last week	3	4	1	5	5	4	4	1.64

Valimaki had a great week, notching a natural hat trick against Prince George.

Tyler Wotherspoon – D, Stockton Heat

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Current	49	6	25	31	16	15	9	24.38
Change from last week	3	0	1	1	1	0	0	-0.75

Wotherspoon predictably didn’t get dealt at trade deadline, so this is probably the end of the line for his Flames career. I can’t see him re-signing with the team at the end of year, so he’ll probably end the year in Stockton and then head elsewhere. Shame, as he finally appeared to break out this season.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat – X

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	31	1658.85	0.915	869
Change from last week	0	0	0	0

Gillies is still up in Calgary.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks/Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
ECHL Current	24	1358	0.892	619
Change from last week	0	0	0	0
AHL Current	4	224.35	0.875	104
Change from last week	2	100	-0.34	49

McDonald’s AHL stint has gone pretty poorly. He is 3-1 in games played, but received a significant amount of run support from the team in front of him. The dam finally broke this past week, as he allowed 11 goals in five periods of play against the Cleveland Monsters (saved 41/49 total, 0.837 SV%). The team has now turned to Ryan Faragher, a career ECHLer who backstopped the Heat to a victory against the San Diego Gulls.

Tyler Parsons – G, Stockton Heat/Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
ECHL Current	23	1273	0.905	686
Change from last week	0	0	0	0
AHL Current	5	176.5	0.878	88
Change from last week	0	0	0	0

Parsons missed both of Stockton’s games due to injury. It’s not expected to be a long-term thing, though.

Nick Schneider – G, Calgary Hitmen, WHL

	GP	TOI	SV%	SA
Current	53	3009	0.885	1608
Change from last week	2	120	-0.001	38

Schneider saved 19/23 against Red Deer and 14/15 against Edmonton this weekend.
