The guy that I worry about the most and see a possible anchor is Mangiapane. He's the guy that will make the 2nd line work and if he doesn't perform and regain his scoring touch the Flames have an expensive player that brings little to the table. We need Mangiapane putting pucks in the net and get between 25-30 goals at minimum. No scoring from the second line means the first is going to be checked into oblivion. Mangiapane is a lynch pin here.

Who is your "must bounce back" player.

Markstrom. There are lots to choose from but this team needs league average goaltending to do anything.
