Yeah this is really what the Flames need(ed). Someone to come from within a be a difference maker beyond their pay scale and put up a surprise 20+ goals. Would be nice if guys like Ruzicka, Zara, Phillips etc could take that step. Or have Kylington or Dube turn the corner into top NHLers. Either of the two would be super helpful.
Tre’s done a nice job turning this team around, but the team has had a tough time growing top talent from within. Mangiapane and Andersson are two of the better ones, but we need more. And they are getting into being paid vs underpaid.
