Miromanov looked fine. So did Pachal for about 20 games before showing more like you’d think a waiver pickup would. I’d say “very well” is an overstatement. But neither are near the calibre of a top 4 D, which at least one was playing all times.
I know we as a fan base all love Kylington, and respect him for even coming back, but he certainly wasn’t a difference maker aside from a handful of games. He’s not, at this point, a guy that should be your clear #3 going into a season.
I mean, there’s a reason the Flames went 7-13 post deadline and 31-26-5 before it. And it’s probably largely due to how porous they were allowing chances against.
Weegar/Miromanov, Kylington/Andersson, Solovyov/Pachal would probably stack up as a bottom group, at least defensively. Either way, that’s a group I don’t want a rookie goalie playing 40+ games behind when you’re trying to develop him. Would much rather use cap to actually add a useful piece to that group to get Wolf some help.
