Well that was an awful October for the Calgary Flames. Just purely awful. Looking down at the prospects is a nice dose of positivity in these negative times. Please get to the NHL soon, we need the help:

Stockton Heat:

Tyler Wotherspoon 4 0 1 1 9.02

Promising:

  • Freddie Hamilton’s doing well! He really must want to join his brother up north.
  • Kenny Agostino should probably get a call up sometime. He’s a left-winger with speed and scoring ability, and now he looks, at the very least, ready for bottom six work in the NHL. He could easily replace Brandon Bollig, and maybe even Mason Raymond.
  • Nakladal probably should’ve received at least one look during his stint with Calgary. He’s putting up points, being defensively responsible, and basically being a leader for the Heat. He can’t be any worse than Kris Russell.
  • Oliver Kylington has looked pretty good as an 18 year old one step below the NHL. Sure, he’s heavily sheltered, but he’s holding his own. That’s a huge relief for a supposed draft hazard.

Yeah, I'm not so certain about these guys' futures. Best of luck to the both of them.

Prospect of the Month: Andrew Mangiapane

It's hard to give this to anyone else. Mangiapane is on pace for another triple digit points season, and may even have his eye on the OHL scoring title. It's early in the season, sure, but it's not hard to be impressed with what he has to offer for the future. He could potentially be with the team at the start of next year. Not too shabby.

And there's your prospect check-in for October! We'll be back next month, hopefully with some more positive news to share with you.
