I am the problem too.

Fans don't have to do anything with it.
The problem primarily is not building enough high impact assets through the draft. Throughout all these years, have we EVER had an all-star caliber centreman?
This organization is getting better at drafting over the past few years I would say. We got young players on the roster and the prospect pool base that should become everyday NHLs. But Flames need to get more offensive players from the draft that can pan out to become star quality.
Gaudreau is the only x-factor player we've had since Iginla, and his play style just isn't effective enough to do it on his own in the playoffs. He needs someone else that the opposing team have to focus on as well.
