If you're expecting this team to be better than last year, you're probably in for a rough year.

There is realism that they were not quite a playoff team but having a combination of Gaudreau, Knight and Agostino or Granlund or Baertschi or Hankowski or Wolf or Van Brabant in the line up and them exceeding expectations was a far more hopeful situation than having an old line up of guys playing out the string.
The incredibly weak on paper line-up that the Flames put on the Ice after the trade deadline went 12-9
I guess that I have to be careful what I ask for...If somehow this line-up does better than last year's it would validate my Grit theory
I have been advocating that the Flames get down to the minimum 3-4 softer players.
With the 1 way NHL contracts there is Hudler and Raymond that are soft players. The next softest player is Monahan and at least he is big and strong and doesn't get pushed around.
