Gio has done that in the past but less than 1 hit per game since he signed his big contract. Remember when Gio last pulled a guy off a Flame goalie and gave him a face wash and challenged him to drop them??? No that was Engelland.
Tkachuk plays Burrows tough.
Even then you can come up with 2 possibilities out of the Flames best 12 players.
The only core players that have significant jam are Bennett and Ferland and they are not getting a lot of ice time AND they have not signed their big contracts yet.
If Babcock were to leave the Leafs to take over the Flames he would immediately demand Treviling get him 3-4 players that play a regular shift that would play a heavy game.
Trevling lost by bring Brouwer in at the end of his career. and has not done anything to fix that mistake,
Brouwer probably did not figure that he would be so lonely as a heavy player on the team after he was one of 6-7 on the Blues.
