It was said by some that for the Flames to be a legit contender the Flames would need to see exponential maturation and amelioration from Jankowski and Bennett.
They need to grasp the opportunities they are given and become consistent and bonafide positive contributors. That has not happened yet.
On the positive side, all of the young D are making a strong case as top 4 D , long term.
