Meanwhile guys like Mangiapane and Dube can get things done just fine in the same situation. We need more players with those guys DNAs.
While they will have their moments surely, we still invested in the wrong core talent because they don't get it done when you really want them to.
Meanwhile the Oilers can get away with McDavid and Draisaitl doing 90% of the work with Smith standing on his head. It's a joke, it's not a team effort solution, yet it is more effective than us giving everything we've got with middle end talent.
I hope the Flames end up making the move to get Jack Eichel, even at the high cost of doing so.

Lindholm scored one of the two goals and Tkachuk assisted on it and had 8 shots
Somehow Dube was better?
