Man, the Flames sure do have this chronic inability to find true players for their roles. Monahan was never a true number one center, Lindholm's not a true number one center, Markstrom's not a true number one goalie, Backlund was never a true number two center, I can't remember if Gaudreau was ever a true first line winger, but I'm guessing probably not, Iginla never had a true number one center, we haven't had a true number one right winger since Iginla, or a true number one goalie since Kiprusoff.
We should get a true number one GM who can hire true number one scouts to find true players who truly fit their true roles, and then a true number one coach. I can't believe we just haven't done this already.
