Let Peters give Foo, Bennett and Ferkland a chance on top line RW and do some minor tinkering but I don't think a huge splash is needed
While I generally agree that coaching seems to have caused systemic issues which dramatically affected the Flames' ability to score, I am completely unconvinced that rotating young players in and out of the top line was the solution.
