I'd say 3 of the 4 lines are pretty ineffective at dumping and chasing most nights minus the odd game or two. Darryl's strategy is all about generating offense from dumping and chasing and really, only the first line excels at it. The other lines aren't generating much on the rush either, so couple the two together and that's why more than half this team is producing at bottom 6 levels. The Flames have essentially an elite top line and three 3rd/4th lines. I think it's about time Treliving did something; a waiver pick up, future considerations, ANYTHING...
