This is really too bad. I liked watching Johnny a lot. One of my all time favorite Flames.

That being said, the team is going to be okay next year and beyond. There remains a lot of talent on the roster and in the organization, along with elite coaching.

This is going to be a very interesting summer as I do not think that Treliving can sit on his hands. 13 leaving is rough for the competitive window, but they still have Markstrom, Lindholm, Tanev, Andersson, Hanifin, Coleman, Backlund, Toffoli, Monahan, and presumably Tkachuk, Mangiapane, and Kylington. Even without Gaudreau this team is nowhere close to a lottery pick, so time to pull together and beat the odds.

Elite coaching made a huge difference this season and it will next season too. I'd say that the Flames need to become Islanders-West, but I don't think things are even that dire as our roster is still strong.
