Most of the team doesn't have high end wheels.
That's part of what makes Kylington such a standout on this team. He might be the only elite skater.
A lot of guys bring a very bland style to the table. Only Mangiapane can bring Gaudreau's flash on his goals.
This team really needs some guys like Poirier (the defenseman) in its future line up. Someone that can be electric at both ends of the rink and have the confidence to make some creative plays.
I feel like our guys have given up trying to be creative in favour of tending to the details and making the coach happy, which they aren't even doing well now either.

If this team lacks top end it’s on defence. IMO Lindholm is comparable to Bergeron or toews or kopitar. Those 3 have 6 cups. Not everyone needs to be a 100 point guy to be elite
Flames fans criticize the 2 stars up north for being selfish all offence players who don’t play both ends. We want our guys to be like them but really our top forwards may score less but are playing the game the right way. Our top line has been dominate despite having 2 holes on the top pp unit. Depth at forward is mainly at center is a huge issue but you could say no hedman makar josi type dman on this team is more the issue than Lindholm. He’s a superstar
