Successful Powerplay units have different players filling different roles. Who on the Flames is best at standing in front of the net, being impossible to move, screening shots, deflecting shots, battling big strong defensemen?
Tkachuk and Lucic and no one else even comes close. Therefore Tkachuk and Lucic occupy the net front role on our top units.
