Forgetting about the what we gave up for Hamonic for a minute, if at the end of last year, I'd told you that the Flames had:
- received Vezina calibre goaltending from their starter who is basically playing every game
- added Hamonic to their D and brought back all others
- received a breakout offensive performance from Ferland
- Gaudreau and Monahan in top 10 in scoring and goals respectively
- no significant injuries
You would simply not believe they are sitting on the playoff bubble. It doesn't have to be GG's fault, but that is alot to add to last year's results and have nothing to show for it.
