With the exception of the Gaidreau line the Flames are filling in the open ice gaps that lead the opposition to sustained o zone time. Really nice work.

Gaudreau and Monahan are going to need some time to get their feet under them with Sutter. I forsee some lost icetime for a while, while they figure it out.

But thank the gods that the Bennett line looks good to go for a push.
When we signed Leivo, I recall advocating for a Dube - Bennett - Leivo line.

It's not quite that, but it's much the same concept with Ryan and Dube and Bennett kind of shifting roles.
