Minus any NHL-level centers Conroy may pick up on other trades this year, it will be interesting to see what kind of impact the loss of a centerman of Lindholm's level will have on the Flame's overall offense. I wouldn't expect too much from Kuzmenko, as a result, as well as a negative impact on Sharangovich and/or Huberdeau.
We'll never know now, but if Ruzicka hadn't been lost on waivers, I would have been curious to see how the Flames would have set up their lines with him still around.
