Count me among the group that doesn't think the team is that good.
If you want to compare to Keenan, his team had 7 forwards score 40+ points in a season. The flames last year had 5.
The team badly needed scoring last season and acquired 2 defenders and Tanner Glass. Not even close to good enough.
This team is basically missing an entire line worth of offense and have maybe the most overrated individual and group of defenders in the entire league.
Brodie was flat out terrible last night but it is so constant it is not even worth talking about. This is more than 100 games of this from him. Time for a trade to address the huge imbalance of defender cap ratio.
Poor jagr needs someone to play with.
