It's sad but so, so true. We had a young, playoff warrior franchise superstar and lost him. You're not coming back from that, you simply start over in a rebuild.  |
He was never a playoff warrior for the Flames.
He had a good game 7 vs Dallas. A great game 1 vs Edmonton. He was MIA after that. He also injured himself a bunch of times and wasn't available.
He broke out in Florida last year for sure.
