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.
I don't really get the noise in the media about the Flames chasing another defenceman. It would be fine, but only for insurance if somebody goes down. I don't see the need to force somebody like Kylington down the lineup.
Another defenceman is a nice luxury to have, but my need right now is a bottom 6 forward.

Lewis is a good defender. Doesn’t mix well with Monahan or Lucic. I don’t know though, exactly how they did against awful competition as far as last might went. The first goal was Sheary who is decent (15 goals and 29 points) and the second was against the top line with the best scorer in history scoring. Huge mistakes but they weren’t ‘dummied” by the 4th line.
Now the Caps 4th line did score a goal, but not against the Monahan line.
