So they let them pass it around, kill time, and maybe the Flames will throw it front for a chance, maybe two at the most.
It's not a scary PP, hasn't been for quite a while. Need a bomb/QB at the point, a net presence, and some quick movement down low. The Flames are kinda failing in every respect unless JG is on his game and making things happen down low.

Yeah it's been a problem since the Hamilton trade as he was the last Flames defenseman that was a threat to beat goaltenders from the point. Not easy to acquire guys like Hamilton, Burns, Weber, etc. Treliving will just have to keep plugging away at the draft in hopes of finding a defenseman with a good point shot that commands attention on the powerplay.
