We're 12th in GF and 30th in GA. Getting a couple of top six wingers wouldn't hurt but stats say we have another problem. A goalie of course but team defence needs to be looked at as well.
I think these last few games are a bit of a trial for some players. Do they have a future with the Flames next season and also what spot on the hierarchy do they fit. I'd say Ortio, Nakladal, Grant and Shinkaruk are probably on the bubble. Probably include Bolig and Jooris as well.
Others wanting top six ice time would include Backlund, Colborne, Ferland, Bennett, Frolik and maybe Bouma. Engelland has been looking okay with Giordano as well.
