This is the most painful part to me. They managed to screw up a season where there were a lot of things that did go right.
- Gaudreau would be top 10 in scoring
- Monahan would score 30+ and have 60+ points
- Ferland would score 20+ & have 40+ points
- Tkachuk would show continued growth (25 goals / 50 points)
- 3M would continue to be a good defensive match up line
- Hamilton would lead the league in d-man goals
- Giordano would have 10+ goals and have 40 points
- Smith acquisition was relatively a success
- Flames would have a top 5 road record in the league
- The team would be relatively healthy and only miss stars for a few games
And yet that team somehow misses the playoffs and doesn't have a draft pick in the first three rounds.
Just a complete choke job by this team+ coaching staff and 100% feels like a wasted season that could have been more.
Always find a way to lose games and really that is why the coaching staff has to go. They can do a lot right but in the end they don't know how to win games at the NHL level.
