The Red Wings would not have been as good as they were if Lidstrom had only one year where he was the best D-man in the league.

My argument was that 2019-20 was more normal than 2018-19. The Flames were a top 8 team with Gio as the best d-man in the league. They are a second tier team with Gio as a top 15-20 d-man in the league.

Changing a coach that had the team playing lights out months before is NOT the worst thing that could possibly happen.
I didn't even include Giordano in my bounce back suggestion.

I did however, highlight the fact that the team's top four forwards all had results well under their career averages.

Your response literally refutes nothing I said.
