2) Gaudreau's contract dispute and subsequent slow start.
3) A disjointed, clumsy training camp. Mostly due to the WHC.
4) TJ Brodie's rough season. Moved to the left side, wife disagnosed with MS
5) Difficult adjustment to the Gulutzan system.
6) Awful goaltending for the first month.
7) The Wideman affect.

Now, we may not remedy every single one of these issues but we will damn sure remedy most of them. Add Travis Hamonic to the equation and the sky is the limit. I wish I could fast forward the summer.
HMs:
-Ignorance of slashing on Gaudreau, Flames (leading to JG injury)
-Playing Brodie on the wrong side
-Backfiring of the strange D pairing strategy and Grossman, McDavid effect spotting the Oilers 4 points out of the gate
-Every goal review all season going against the Flames
-Various phantom calls on Tkachuk just because he is a scumbag kid
