So far Heiskanen has been the best player for either team by a mile. Having Tkachuk out sucks, but the real problem is that the rest of the Flames' top players have either disappeared or gotten flat out dominated 5v5.
Even if they somehow win this series, there's no way you can look at yet another postseason no-show from the big guns and keep this core together for next year. It's become a very troubling pattern.
