team is -32 as a group .... that is not pretty good 5 on 5 that is not even mediocre. Medicore would be even plus/minus. This team needs to improve to become mediocre 5 on 5.
This is a team that has good pieces for a bad team in a rebuild.... but they have been locked up as though they were good pieces on a good team.
The big 7 that Treliving has locked up for 50% of 2019-20 cap is a collective -38.
Flames fans have suspended logic..... last year was a good team BUT....for Hiller. This year is t is a good team BUT for special teams.
