Don't get me wrong, I'm excited. But very cautiously optimistic.

I still think we need an upgrade at forward. Or huge improvements from at least a couple players.

Edmonton had 20 more goals for, and many of the contending teams had even more than that.

So the Flames need to eliminate that gap somehow to take the next step I think. Will a Gaudreau bounce back year, progression with Tkachuk, Bennett and the addition of Jankowski add the needed 20-30 goals? Not sure.

This is why Treliving shouldn't just be content with the current RW depth and production.
