Boedeker is #2 on the Avalanche in the same stat after being terrible in Ottawa.
So is it going from poor teams to better teams? (reach with the Avalanche)
The other case is the deal they lauded as brilliant as the Islanders used underlying stats as a Sears catalogue and picked up Shane Prince from the Senators but so far he is third last for the Islanders after being this amazing secret for the Senators.
Something to keep an eye on.
But I'll be interested to see what GranteedED has to say on the topic as well.
And Ricardo? He seems like that guy under a blanket in the basement of a house in the middle of nowhere peering out and professing to understand what's really going on. Brilliant trolling or shudder inducing oddness.

So Bingo is this the worst team in Flames History or not? Maybe have a poll. It has the worst record as a team.
If the goalies were totally to blame for this train wreck of a season then you would have to think that the rest of of the team would be asked to compensate and play a more defensive game.
When you are leading the league as a team in pts by the defense you have to think that you are going to be putting greater than normal pressure on your goalie.
You single me out and leave Flames Draft Watcher talent evaluation

Gaudreau > Fleury
Monahan >> Stillman
Bennett v Iginla???? Too early to tell

When Fleury was Gaudreau's age he had a 51 goal (2nd in league) 104 pts (8th in league) season and was +48. He had 96 NHL goals.
The equivalent of these claims would be:
Drasital might be better than Messier.
