Really? Yay?

Not 1 forward in the top 50 of scoring...! 50!

I don't know about this "centre depth". Seems very average to me.
I would imagine there aren't many teams that have that kind of production spread down the middle if you look it up. This is a team that has a lot of good, not great offensive players. It was always going to be by committee group this season. Where did having two 100 point players last season get the team, exactly?

Unfortunately, you have Huberdeau who has done very close to nothing all season and Markstrom, who can go from amazing to awful from the start of a game to the end this year. This really has been the difference between the Flames being in the mix and them being where they are now. It certainly has little to do with Kadri, Backlund or Lindholm who are a huge reason that this team is able to suppress shots as well as they do.
