I guess if you only care about winning debates on HF that this bothers you. Young players go through ups and downs, Johnny has been on fire at points in this season and has struggled/been unlucky as well. Bennett is in his second year as a pro, I remember when people wanted to trade Backlund and now look. The Flames are a team and you cheer for the team, if you want to gloat about individual statistics go cheer for the Oil or the leafs, if you care about this team you would notice there have been many many bright spots this year and the team is playing much more dominant sustainable hockey. I mean for god sakes we have a rookie who may crack 50 pts. We would've shat our pants 4 years ago if that happened, we have just been spoiled and your post shows that. And to your point about Backlund, maybe he's turning into a player that is much more than just a secondary scoring option? Development is different for every player, calm down and enjoy the ride. Like I said in a previous post Rome wasn't built in a day.
