The Flames need to add an effective bottom 6 forward at the deadline. Not a Ritchie type. Somebody who has actual strong defensive metrics and can actually play a role to frustrate the opposition. Monahan/Lucic are getting dummied against awful competition. When our top line is thriving against the other team's best, this really should make it easier for our bottom 6. But they aren't taking advantage.

Sutter won't do it but it's time to give Pelletier or Phillips (maybe both) a look.
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Ruzicka-Toffoli
Pelletier-Backlund-Coleman
Lucic-Dube-Lewis
Monahan can sit for a couple games IMO. He had stretches at times where he looked okay earlier this year when playing with Dube or Mangiapane, but he's a liability when asked to play with Lucic/Lewis.
