The Flames don't have enough good players to have a line that drives possession and doesn't get matched up against top players.
How many forwards on the Flames actually can drive possession - Backlund and Hudler? Those guys are going to playing against the Kanes and Keiths of the world and Gaudreau isn't ready for that.
And I see just as many passes that Gaudreau misses because he's worried he's going to get smoked than I do where the play dies with Colborne and Raymond. He'll figure it out, but right now he's not doing much and blaming his linemates who have actually produced seems ridiculous.
