Peak flames was pretty solid. I mean, Tkachuk breaks his hand, Monahan injury, Bennett didn't come anywhere close to panning out and Markstrom #### the bed. The flames could have been a bit more patient, but they were also super unlucky with how it all panned out. And then the Johnny and Tkachuk left for personal reasons and a premature rebuild is the end result. If they hadn't left, the team probably gets a few more seasons of being a top contending team.
