It's been said a bunch of times now over the past couple months, but this bears repeating: I LOVE what depth does for a team. The sort of line juggling that Peters is doing this season is something that really was not even an available option to Guilutzan's coaching staff. The Flames have a high number of players that can take on a variety of different roles in different situations, depending on the opponent and whether playing at home or on the road. It could be argued that Peters is here and now for the first time in his coaching career afforded the options to execute this plan effectively for the first time in his own coaching career. (While he blended his lines a lot in Carolina he never really had the quality of players that he does here to make it as effective as it can be.)
