Look at Gaudreau for Calgary last year. If it wasn't for Johnny's production and even unaccounted for 3rd man assists, the Flames wouldn't of had as many wins as they had.
Weren't they slightly worse when he was *in* the line-up last year? Not saying he makes them worse, but his impact didn't seem all that much.

They haven't improved in the areas that matter, namely defence, to make that much of a difference. Until that happens, I'm not really that worried about them.
