FlamesNation Prospect Update: Beginning to wind up

Well, the Flames prospects escaped trade deadline unscathed (minus the 16-year-old traded yesterday), so they can start focusing on the stretch drive of their respective seasons. With the KHL having already wrapped up their regular season and other European leagues soon to follow, it will soon be time to assess and evaluate what the club has in their prospects.

Change from last week	3	1	2	3	1	3	1	+0.17

Another week where Roman contributed at least one point in every game. His draft stock fell a bit because of his consistency, so this is a step in the right direction.

Adam Ruzicka – C/LW, Sudbury Wolves, OHL

	GP	G	A	P	5v5 P	P1	5v5 P1	NHLe
Up to date	41	2	14	16	9	11	7	15.52
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	1	2	1	+0.84

Another productive week for Valiev. It’s pretty good for a guy who seemed to be shipped to Calgary just because the Habs needed to ship someone back.

Up to date	11	1	7	8	5	3	2	28.98
Change from last week	2	0	2	2	0	2	1	+2.41

Two big primary assists for Valimaki. I wonder if the Oscar Fantenberg acquisition keeps Valimaki down for the rest of the season.

Dmitri Zavgorodniy – C/LW, Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL

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

Zavgorodniy has fallen below the point-per-game mark for the first time this season.

Jon Gillies – G, Stockton Heat

	GP	TOI	SV%
Up to date	32	1811	0.876
Change from last week	2	119	+0.004

One bad game (22/26, 0.846%) and one great one (36/37, 0.973%) this week. If it’s any consolation, he’s had more great games recently.

Mason McDonald – G, Kansas City Mavericks

	GP	TOI	SV%

Change from last week	–	–	–

Finally got back into action, but it didn’t go so hot for him. His had a win in his return, stopping 25 of 28 (0.893%) but struggled in the next game, stopping 22 of 27 (0.815%).
