This is 100% why the Flames are off to a poor start. The big 3 D are not getting it done and neither are our 2 best forwards.
My suggestion is load up for a few games. Play Brodie exclusively with Hamilton. Let the pair develop chemistry and see where it goes. That could be our top pair for the next 4-10 years.
Either try Brouwer with Monahan and Gaudreau or try Gaudreau with Bennett and Brouwer. Put the 2 highest paid wingers together with one of the young centre's and see if they can get some chemistry. M
Okay Tkachuk with one of Bennett or Monahan. I would like to see the Flames build chemistry with their top prospect and one of the 2 top centre's on the team (for the future)
Keep Backlund and Frolik together. They work keep it going
Play Chaisson on the 4th line where he belongs.
Next game I roll with this
Gaudreau-Monahan-Brouwer
Tkachuk-Bennett-Versteeg
Ferland-Backlund-Frolik
Bouma-Stajan-Chaisson
Brodie-Hamilton
Giordano-Wideman
Jokipakka-Engellend
Elliott
