Yes, this has been an upsetting season for the Calgary Flames, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for this as there seems to be a lot of cross discussion of the players in many threads. So here is where we can just generalize it. So who are the Good, Bad, and Ugly of this team and what would it take for them to get back to where we once were? (trades, work ethic, etc)

Anyway, this is what I think of the players so far. Let us know what your opinion is on the players/organiztion this season.


(Let me know if anything needs changes! I will edit the categories.)

What are our missing pieces?

Talking about management side, I think this is the time when you need to shake up the roster and introduce a younger team and fix the problems that are not helping. Not all of this is possible but if we were to blow up the team and keep players that were in the good, our lineup would be...

Colborne-Monahan-X
Gaudreau-Bennett-Frolik
X-X-X
X-Stajan-X

Giordano-Brodie
X-X (Hamilton can fill in this second pair role)
(Engelland/Smid)-Hamilton

Overall this slow start to the season helps put in perspective that our rebuild isn't all perfect and we still have many holes in our lines. The good thing is that our prospect pool is deep and they're is potential for young guns to step it up.
