Gaudreau sucked under Sutter too until paired with Tkachuk and Lindholm. There was no magical transition period - Sutter just put him with two other top players and chemistry clicked.

The Flames need more elite talent. We don’t have enough to build one true 1st line. So we can blame the player or the coach, but the reality is this team has a roster problem. It’s a #%^* team built on depth rather than top end skill - and in the NHL, top end skill wins the day.

It’s a bad roster.
It could have been a decent team still, but it turns out that the guys they brought in couldn't replace what the guys that left brought, and at the same time didn't mesh with the skill sets of the guys that were here already.

They were pretty unfortunate

Should've test-drove Huby and Weegar before flashing the cash
