I just dont think the roster is as good as people thought. The Flames have 2 ok centres but lack a dominant one. They have no scoring RWs. Bennett at this point isn’t a bust, but doesn’t look like he’ll be the player he was expected to be.
Really the only forward strength is at LW. The bottom 6 is pretty bad.

The D corps is ok. The top pairing I think is excellent. Second pairing is meh. Brodie is a real disappointment. The third pairing I think is actually a pretty solid NHL 3rd pairing.

I’m not a huge Gulutzan fan, but replacing the coach isn’t going to magically fix this team. The talent just isn’t there.
