How much deadweight can a team have before it has an effect one the W-L columns.

With a long season i think you need players near the bottom that are at least capable of going on a heater and picking up some of the slack for the top guys from time to time.

Can only do it by committee if you have a committee that's capable of making contributions.

Hopefully they make a meaningful deadline acquisition because I don't see them giving a farm player a shot at a meaningful time of the year. Never been the Flames' way, which is too bad because I think they could benefit greatly from putting trust in some of the youngsters they've hand picked.

We can't stand to play through necessary growing pains of less experienced players, unless they absolutely pop off like Kylington to start. We just staple guys to the press box and eventually (way too long afterward) send them back down.
