The Calgary Flames have placed defenseman Daniil Miromanov on waivers, a move that could shape his future in the NHL. With limited playing time and a crowded blue line, Miromanov’s journey in Calgary might be coming to an end.
Miromanov, a 28-year-old from Moscow, has been a healthy scratch for most of his time with the Flames. In the 2024-25 season, he played only 44 games, scoring 2 goals and 7 assists. This season, he’s appeared in just one game, a 4-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Flames acquired Miromanov from the Golden Knights in a trade deadline deal in March 2024, but his impact has been minimal. With prospects like Zayne Parekh emerging and established players like Kevin Bahl and Rasmus Andersson, Miromanov’s path to regular ice time is challenging.
This video explores the potential outcomes for Miromanov’s career, the Flames’ decision to waive him, and the impact on the team’s defense. Will he clear waivers and join the AHL’s Calgary Wranglers? Or will another NHL team take a chance on the Russian rearguard?
