Tough to compare teams pre salary cap with teams post salary cap
I think CP's biggest issue is everyone wants to the Flames to have a perfect team. 4 stacked lines, 3 stacked d pairings and 2 stud goalies. Sorry that doesn't happen anymore
The Flames currently have a top 10 1st line, 2nd and goalie. They also have one of the best if not the best defence pairings in the league. They also have 2 other top 15 2nd and 3rd pairings
No question that have a bottom 5 3rd and 4th line. For me I'm fixing the 3rd line that gets 15 mins a game and 2+ mins on the PP per game than the scrubs on the 4th line playing 8 mins a game. It should be priority #1
The 3rd line lack of production and the PP get fixed the Flames could be cup contenders. They aren't that far off. I bet Frolik doesn't shoot it on his own net again this season. Everyone needs to relax. They just went 2 months without giving up 4 in a game and a month without a regulation loss. Just need a few more goals
