The Flames needs to add probably 3 pieces to get there. 2 forwards (not goons, skilled guys who crash and bang) and 1 D (stay at home, hard-hitting, clear the front of the net).
In a dream world the Flames somehow get Lucic and Backes and trade for Hamonic. Now I know that is not going to happen, but one can dream.

I thought it was interesting that at the Fan Fest this year one of the questions in the session I saw was "who is your least favorite team to play aginst?". Gaudreau answered St. Louis, describing how big and heavy they were to play against. Just one small anecdote, but I did get the feeling they were in the head of our best player and it maybe impacted his effectiveness against them.
