I think the Flames should start taking some chances with the Russians in some of the mid to late round draft picks. Do what the Lightnings and Red Wings have done. I think Gaudreau needs to have complimentary players that can go east west as well as have more hockey IQ on positioning rather than just shoot the puck at the goalie or miss the net altogether.
We all can complain about the coaching staff, but the execution on ice by most of the players we have is probably why it'll be hard for Gaudreau to get the Art Ross trophy or the team to succeed on their special teams.
