There are 30 team in the league so rather than having 2 of the top 60 best d-men the Flames have 5!!!!
Who is under-performing their contracts? Hamilton, Gio, Brodie, Russell or Wideman.
Wideman is a given so that leaves 4 guys who are supposed to top-2 d-men.
BUT if it is not the individual d-men then the coach and the system needs to be looked at.
having a roster with what would have to be top 5 in the league on paper defense means that there is something else terribly wrong for a team to be in the bottom 3rd of the standings.
