That basically have 2 - 1st lines and we don't.
How badly did William Karlsson make Monahan look yesterday on that breakaway he had? If we had more forwards with some speed like Gaudreau does, we'd be in better shape is what I'm saying. We have one guy, maybe 2 with Tkachuk who can consistently create plays and create their own shot whereas Vegas and other elite teams have plenty.

When you find yourself saying Perron is similar to Gaudreau, that's when it's time to stop, and re-evaluate your position.
The Knights don't have any Gaudreaus. The Flames don't need more Gaudreaus in order to score (though obviously that would be nice).
The Flames aren't the slowest team in the league. They PLAY slow. You post and post and post in an attempt to defend the coaching staff, but in order to do so, you have to to resort to things like 'they have several players similar to Gaudreau'.
You know what's hard? Re-evaluating your position, and being open to facts that don't jive with your current view.
