Hell, look at Tkachuk-Lindholm-Gaudreau, they haven’t had a bad game yet. Coaches and teams don’t have 20 games to try things out, it’s a cut throat league and fans want wins.
Plus, those guys also had practice and line rushes too, so it’s not just “3” games. It’s more like 50-60 shifts, plus hours of line rushes and etc.

This is what sets the Flames apart from other organizations. Other organizations with a top 4 draft pick would give that player a season or two with top players on the team before being able to make a call. The Flames can do it after 3 games.
