Congrats to Lindholm for scoring his 18th goal; new career high, and 1 point shy of his 45 point season high. This thread is too long, but I recall Canes fans commenting on Lindy’s ‘muffin’ of a shot right after the trade. He might not be a pure sniper, but many of his goals have cleanly beaten goalies.
Less than halfway through the first season of his contract. Lindholm alone has outscored Hamilton (10pts) and Ferland (17pts) combined. Hanifin has 19 points to his name and has outscored both Hamilton and Ferland as well, while being on pace to also mark a career year. Playing 2nd pairing minutes alongside a solid but not particularly offensive Hamonic. Most importantly, both of these players seem to be contributing to team success more than the departed players.
After Ferly’s hot start, his production had slowed down, but obviously the recent injury is the most concerning for his overall well being, future contract prospects, and team success. Hamilton without Gio has floundered offensively, which is not much surprise to most Flames fans.
Adam Fox better be huge for the Canes, otherwise the last off-season may be one of the worst for a team in several years.
