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.
Lindholms’ departure will have a bigger impact on the defensive side of the puck. I don’t know that Sharangovich (or whoever) will be up to the challenge of the defensive responsibilities of a #1/2 C in the NHL.
