Well I’m sure they’d also like a healthy Tarasenko who they’ve relied on to score 30-40 goals for them every season. St. Louis doesn’t need a ton of run support because they’re usually very stout defensively,m. But if Doug Armstrong made one critical error it was acquiring Justin Faulk and extending him when Pietrangelo was due for a raise. I think they miss everything he brings to the table.
Regardless, I’m not even sure ROR solves all of the Flames woes. If the Flames trade Tkachuk, there’s another gigantic hole on RW. This team doesn’t have enough natural RWs and that’s been a glaring problem for Treliving’s entire tenure. Brouwer and Neal obviously didn’t work, Lindholm did but the team needed more depth at center and blah, blah, blah, everyone knows the rest.
