As they continue to develop chemistry you would hope to see it increase. We will see
I think it was a dumb move to break up the lines after the Edmonton game because while they worked on the overall structure, it was pushing the final lines and chemistry development out
And the biggest problems all year have been the costly breakdowns and the lack of offense

As you say we shall see, but I don’t blame Sutter, Treliving or Huberdeau for not being McDavid or Mackinnon. Scheming against a system is basically a matter of maintaining a perimeter, McDavid, Mackinnon, Gaudreau, and a few others can make the perimeter morph into chaos.
Hopefully the Flames pull a Blues redux from a few years ago, but I wouldn’t wager on it. As a fan I’m hoping for the best, but I see a greater potential for this team to miss the playoffs than to make an appearance.
