Second line and down there's issues. Backlunds line should be the third line. Bennett and Lazar flatlining has left a huge gap in scoring and we don't have the replacement parts to fix the problem. Janko looks good but appears to need some better linemates(yeah Jagr is there but I have a feeling he's going to miss a bunch of games).
The fourth line even with Versteeg is not good. Hamilton and Stajan aren't the answer. And Brouwer is serving one purpose but not worth his contract.
Treliving went all in on the D corps and I think it's kind of backfiring. Really think Hamonic should be the third pairing RHD and anchoring defensively someone like Kylington. Stone and Brodie have shown much better chemistry and I don't know why the coaching staff isn't matching successful pairings instead of trying to make a square peg go into a round hole.
There's a few serious issues that need fixing with the Flames for sure, you can see the parts are there, they just need to adjust the settings.
