Not that Jankowski and Rieder were difference makers they were definitely better than the 3 replacement plugs Trev brought in .
Where is Pelletier? Are the Flames writing off this season to save a year of his ELC?
Does the Flames management realize that they might/should not be around for benefit.
I would have higher expectations having Kylington playing in the top-9

I haven't liked Simon's last few games, but Leivo is getting better and better and has some of the best underlying numbers on the team.
He's clearly a top nine player in this league even if he doesn't produce as he doesn't hold back other players and keeps the ice tilted in his favour.
Look around the league and you'll see a Simon/Bennett in every team's top nine ... that's salary cap hockey.
