All of the above voids are in reference to a contending team.
Next season they will need to play as a team. 5 on D when the other team has the puck, 5. on offence when they have the puck. 5 tenacious and smart players when neither has the puck.
Balance. Not much cohesion or tenacity on D or when the puck was up for grabs.I blame a good portion of these problems on the core.

Who qualifys as a top pairing D to you? We had Bouwmeester the whole season and were just as bad.
You blame the core, that's hilarious. How anyone can blame anyone but management is beyond me. This team was built terrible. How many of our own draft picks are in the lineup? That should give you your answer. Players that are free agents become available for a reason, and those reasons are being more evident with every passing Flames game.
