If one of us were to jump into a time machine, go back to September 2017 and say the following would happen for the Flames this year:

1) Gaudreau top-10 in NHL points
2) Monahan 30+ goals
3) Hamilton #1 Dman in scoring
4) Smith top-10 goalie
5) Flames miss playoffs

I think that poster would have been crucified for the last one... I don't think anyone would believe that having that many good things going on would lead to a non-playoff team.

This team IS less than the sum of its parts, and I do place that blame on GG. Now, if he is replaced, and the team still is mediocre results, it's time to look at blowing it up (again).
