Those are some significant drops for 4 of our top contributors.
Gee, you think that because two of those guys are defenders who are actually now being tasked with defending, that their point totals will go down? Who freakin' cares about point totals. I care about WINS.

Right now, no, they are not capable of more offensive output unless they are sacrificing defensive responsibility, which doesn't win you games as evidenced by the previous tenure under hartley.

If the team is as unskilled as you suggest the rebuild thus far is an absolute failure. The whole point is to be drafting and developing players who can put up numbers. And they can. We've seen it.
This is your problem. Rebuilds from scratch don't happen in 3 years. You were likely warned several times in threads over the years about how long this rebuild would take, it's on you if you can't identify that no team in the league has ever turned it around in 3 years. Calgary just had 3 of their 4 worst all-time finishes, the team is garbage right now and the record illustrates that.

If you didn't see this coming maybe you should post less and read more.

In the last 10 games last season the Flames lost:

5-2
6-2
4-1
8-3
3-0

In the first 10 games of last season the Flames lost:

4-0
4-1
6-2
5-2
5-1

I know you want to prove a point that Gulutzan and his system is a better fit for the team than Hartley and his system, but no need to exaggerate to make your point.
I don't want to prove anything, I'm using my eyes and my ability to reason and think critically.
