Wolf won't help the Flames, if anything imo his poor skating will make things worse.
Flames need a new gameplan - there is no way they are going to match up with the Ducks physically like they did against the Canucks. They shouldn't fall into the same trap that the Jets did.
They need quick breakouts out of the zone and to rush the puck. Force the Ducks to skate rather than let them grind it out on the cycle.
And for the love of all that is holy, get the puck to the net and crash it! Stop trying for force those pretty passes - once the Ducks are set up in their zone they are going to block cross-ice passes and perimeter shots all day long.
