So if Monahan and Gaudreau can’t be fixed, then why are they still being trotted out together? Why were they paired to begin with this season? Why weren’t they split up? Why did this organization believe that Tkachuk belonged with Lindholm? Why Mangiapane and Backlund? Why Leivo, Simon, Ritchie and Nordstrom of all people? Why has Sam Bennett never found the right role, position or even consistent spot in the depth chart. Why did they think Andersson and Gio were the right pairing to go into this season with. Why have we seen 5 different coaches in this era?
This was a problem created by management because of how many holes they have in the lineup and the proposed solution by management to fill those holes only made things worse. Now none of the lines have any chemistry at all which has resulted in this team being unable to score enough goals to win enough games this season.
If the braintrust in the Flames boardroom know their players so well, then the Flames wouldn’t be in the mess they are this season. This team was suppose to be a contender by now and they haven’t come close, they’ve actually regressed and are going backwards. So yes, I think it’s more than fair to say that this management group doesn’t know their players or this team very well.
