I just think the flames need to break up the lines. As we approach 20 games, the distribution of impact talent is top heavy. Perhaps the flames over estimated the depth going into the season, banking too much on Bennett's offseason progression.

I don't think they can afford to break up the top line, especially when they finally seem to be clicking. I also feel Ferland may be most effective there. I really want to see the 3M line broken up and spread across the 3rd line.

Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Tkachuk - Jankowski - Jagr

I still feel Bennett needs someone to carry the line. He needs to build up some confidence. Putting him with a rookie with not a single career nhl point (lack of nhl experience) and a 45 year old jagr still trying to find his legs are not putting Bennett in a position to succeed.
