By far the biggest liabilities seem to be Stajan, Brouwer, Bennett and Ferland. How Ferland is a -3 with 1 even strength goals is beyond me, but that's how things stand through 9 games for him. How Brouwer is -3 with 2 non-powerplay points is less of a headscratcher.
Anyway, just not nearly enough offense from the Flames. Bottom 3rd in shots for per game, 7th worst in shots against.
Not enough offensive zone pressure to compete.
