We shouldn't understate the importance of both Hanifin and Lindholm being able to carry the puck into the offensive zone. Brodie is also comfortable doing the same from the right side, if memory serves. Calgary's zone entries were among the worst in the league last year. If it wasn't Johnny, it was dump and chase, and that means that we were willingly giving up possession most of the time.
