Neither in the Flames top-4 Stone was a healthy scratch for 29 games and Valimaki was in the AHL after he was off the injury list. Injured for 28 games and not good enough to be in the Flames line-up for 30 games.
Flames had a clear cut top-4 ... very very seldom were they not the top-4 in TOI in any game. Out of Brodie-Gio, Hanifin-Hamonic there was a total of 10 games lost to injury.
What do you think the over-under is for that happening in 2019-20?
The primary playoff prep the Flames have to address over the 2018-19 is working on the physical play that they will be forced to play in a playoff series.
