With Frolik they have 14 goals in 209 minutes and a higher five on five rate.
I think Bennett helps them create more, but they don't finish with Bennett, lately they're not even creating with Frolik.

I got my numbers off Corsica. As I stated in my post all my numbers are from the span of the previous three seasons so maybe you are only looking at the sample of just this season. You should also look at the bigger sample for 3M as well.

Because the Backlund's primary line role is to check top lines, not to score goals. Frolik is at this point a little bit better of a possession player than Bennett, which keeps top line opponents hemmed in more often and allows Peters to play Bennett with Neal, which this far has been the only combination that gives us a solid 3rd line. I'm not advocating for Tkachuk-Backlund-Bennett to be reunited -I am telling you that calling their lack of production together "glaring" is a brutal claim.

There's a bizarre subset of Flames fans who think Brodie is a 3rd pair defenseman and is carried by Mark Giordano. And thst Rasmus Andersson is suddenly ready for top pair duties as an acfual plan A. They really have zero interest in giving Brodie any credit for this team's success or our top pair's success.
