but this is the rub... there's no guarantee of that... obviously the other team is also moving assets because they also are thinking their team is better with the acquisition of Johnny.
I don't think its a matter of moving Johnny as opposed to adding other players to ensure our lineup isn't a one team line... the 3M lost a bit at the end... i don't know if Tkachuk mentally lost an edge because of the Doughy thing or because he hit the rookie wall... but that line wasn't the same...
Ferland needs to become more consistent... and if he does, 20/20 is definitely a possibility.... The top line wasn't awful during the playoffs; i'm sure i read that JG did pretty well in the advanced stats - now that could be because Mony was just lighting things up too.
If Bennett could turn the corner along with Lazar Calgary could be be quite strong...
A team like Nashville is what Calgary could model themselves on... strong D and a bunch of fast skaters up front, who are all decently skilled... We're close, just need a few more pieces to play more consistently...
