I'm still struggling with the fact we're playing a 'possession' game when our roster looks built for the transition. Not sure how anyone could be happy with where we are with the D core we have.
1st line C - check
Legit #1 Goalie - check
#1 Defenseman - check
Game breaking winger - check
Selke candidate #2 center - check
Rookies on ELC contributing - check
This should have been a year to make a splash in the post season. Instead here we are as usual on the bubble. On paper there's a handful of rosters I would trade the Flames for. I wouldn't call this team a cup contender but there's no excuse for not being in a playoff spot.
