Personally I think Brad has assembled a pretty damn good roster who are clearly underachieving. Yea, we're still weak at RW and we're missing a decent #4 D man, but I'd say the Flames have all the pieces necessary to be a successful team. For whatever reason, they're just not getting it done this year, and I think that falls mostly on the coaching staff and the systems.
Also those holes can be blames on a lack of cap space - which has a lot to do with mostly bad decisions from before Treliving.

Stajan: $3.125M
Wideman: $5.250M
Smid: $3.50M

~$11M that could have went a long way to fixing our top 9 RW, and #4 d-man problems.
