Come ON you guys.

There's only two things happening here:

1) The team is badly constructed
2) Gaudreau isn't playing god-tier hockey in order to cover for it.

That's IT. That's the ENTIRE problem.

The Flames are rotating Buddy Robinson, Dillon Dube, Andrew Mangiapane and Toby Freakin' Reider through their top 6 lineup because they tried Backlund there for 20 games and he scored 3 goals.

None of this is a coaching issue.

THEY ALREADY FIRED THE COACH

I know it's a hopeless thing to consider, but what if a team with one playoff game win in the last 4 years is actually just a ####ty team?

This could all be true but they'd still need to make sure they have the right coach behind the bench.
