Credit to BT for putting together this improbable roster after everything.

This is the other factor. Richardson, Ritchie, Monahan all contributed very little last season.
The Flames didn't have any NHL ready prospects other than the hopes Valimaki would give the team a shot in the arm and he did not.
This year Valimaki could be in the equation but Pelletier, Ruzicka, Phillips and Mackey could be factors. Maybe even Wolf.
Also think we got a poor version of Toffoli, he can be better.
Huberdeau is a big boy and he can be a bit mean out there. Kadri isn't easy to play against. Even Lindholm can take your head off. This team coached by Sutter is a Sutter type team
