Don't be fooled by the Flames being 11th overall in GF as a lot of those goals came from playing Hartley's high risk/reward system. Its very likely the Flames will play a more defensively responsible brand of hockey under the next coach and that the offense from the blue line will take a step back which will put more pressure on the forwards to generate offense. This team lacks skilled wingers more than anything outside a starting goaltender as Hudler's offense has yet to be replaced and they wont be a playoff contender with guys like Ferland playing a top 3/6 role.
