There is a reason the turnover leaders are usually high profile elite players.

Except there was literally zero reason to pass back to the blue line/neutral zone? On that play. Maybe Gaudreau should make something out of the play by getting it to the net instead of constantly trying to set up a point shot (of which we have scored on very few of this year). While the passes may usually be accurate it doesn't mean they're always necessary and it becomes predictable.
Looking to Johnny to step it up in the third and take some accountability. He's been a non factor in most of the past handful of games. We need him to come through in a positive way. Flames relied on the Backlund line for offense early in the season and we all saw how that went.
