Just as a top up on that note above - it's why I think a RW acquisition could mean a lot for this team.
C - Deep and set with Lindholm, Monahan, Backlund, Ryan
LW - Deep and set with Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Bennett, Lucic
RW - Yikes. No natural top 6 RWs but Mangiapane, Dube, Reider, Czarnik have filled in.
Really Flames should send down Rinaldo and call up Czarnik. Then if you could add a RH top 6 winger, even just a guy like Kase even that goes a long way.
Tkachuk - Lindholm (RH) - Mangiapane/Dube
Gaudreau - Monahan - RW Acquisition (RH)
Bennett - Backlund - Czarnik (RH)
Lucic - Ryan (RH) - Dube/Mangiapane
Reider
At that point you have a natural RH shot on every line, and you could roll 4 lines all game long. Which to me is what matters. As long as you have on natural RH shot on each line that gives you the balance you need.
