Honestly, I can appreciate some poster’s optimism, but I’d be very surprised if the Flames were a playoff team next season.
Here are Johnny’s 21-22 season splits (wins and losses).
In Wins:
50gm - 32g - 61a - 93p
In Losses:
21gm - 5g - 8a - 13p
In OTL:
11gm - 3g - 6a - 9p
Just look at how reliant this team was on Johnny’s line just to win games. There’s an extremely high correlation between Johnny’s production and the competitiveness of this team. I’ve always remarked on this before, dating all the way back to 2017, but honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it quite a this level prior to this past season.
