Hm. I wouldn't argue that the flames are a tough team necessarily, nor a big team. But I doubt this claim.
IMO this is how I would break it down.
Toughest (5): Lucic
2nd group (3 points)
Horvat (+1 for being second IMO)
Bennett
Tkachuk
Miller
Andersson
3rd group (2 points)
Virtanen
Pearson
Mangiapane
Dube
gaudette
Sutter
Motte
Beagle
Roussel
Nordstrom
Monahan
Lindholm
Backlund
Giordano
Schmidt
Myers
Benn
4th group (1 point)
Ryan
Simon
Boeser
Juolevi
Tanev
Valimaki
Hughes
kylington
Hanifin
5th group (0 points)
Edler
Pettersson
Gaudreau (-1 for last place, by a hair)
Total points:
Flames 33
Canucks 30
It was closer than I thought but it seems I disagree! They're better in the middle but we have more top end tough.
