Overrated
Our hockey ops.
We have never strayed away from favoring veterans over our developing players ( Monahan and Tkachuk are exceptions) and we need to be allot better a some of the vets we pick up.
Yeah Versteeg worked and I am still pleasantly surprised but Brouwer was a dud.
The fact he played exactly where Ferlund would have done better in the playoffs still irks me.
UNDERRATED
Chad Johnson, David Rittich and Tyler Parsons.
These 3 should be given specific instructions to compete for the starters job and this search for a number 1 should stop. I think we have the guy already and don't know it.
We had a guy who was a backup who turned into a number 1 because someone had faith in his ability and he was and always be the best goalie to ever play for the flames.....you know what's his face......
Dark Horses
Kylington, Hickey, Hathaway, Lomberg, Tuulola, Mangiapane, Rittich,
I hope these guys all push really hard and prove they are ready.
Within our system are answers if we just try.
Going out and acquiring vets year after year that don't pan out is getting really old. That and reclamation projects.
