I have to imagine Waddell is second guessing his offers to the Flames after seeing Tkachuk play a big role in sweeping his team in the conference final. They have built a really solid team but it's missing that truly elite forward. That definitely has to sting but they are a frugal organization so sometimes they are going to miss out when it comes to bidding for top players. I wonder if they look at making a bit of a shakeup this offseason or stay the course and hope that a healthy Svechnikov could be the difference maker next season.
