Bennett at center.
Heck, let's go back to last year and reminisce about Grossman.
I don't think it's going out on a limb to suggest the Flames have whiffed more than they've hit on many of these decisions.
Apologies if I offended you, as you seem quite peeved at my post.

Sure. Fair points. No team is perfect in their decision making. Fact is, none of us know what the internal discussions were about any of those points you raise.
It's awefully to sit on the sidelines and point to the questionable decisions made. Never the less here we are; Jankowski is a regular and told to get a house, same with Kulak. Lack is in Stockton, I would imagine that the people who are paid to make roster decisions felt Rittich/Gillies weren't a sure thing for reg NHL duty, or would be better served playing more in the A. The Flames obviously wanted Bennett to succeed at C and were willing to stick with it as long as they could. Further his move to the wing meant Jankowski could come up and play meaningful minutes, not 4th line.
I'm sure if you look hard enough, you will see similar decisions made in probably every team in the league.
Think the Flames have done anything correctly, or do we just ignore that?
