Can we trade Rasmus already so we can properly tank?

They need to be better than .500 to draft outside the bottom ten

They haven't been able to go .500 with Andersson in the lineup.

hard to imagine them improving once he's gone.

He's been, by far, their best player.

Ya I think you’re right but even drafting out of the bottom 5 seems like a wasted season.

He has no giveaways and was a pretty big contributor on Klapka's goal. Not sure what play you think killed.

They’ll be bottom 5 imo. They really aren’t that good and the roster will get worse

Yes. Not saying that it’s not plausible but he is a long ways away from being an elite goaltender.

Kuznetsov has been a beast though.

He's had 3 pretty terrible giveaways that may have not been recorded or credited as such. NHL.com doesn't always get things right.

I saw one missed pass. Saw a few more nice ones. But if you look for mistakes you will find them with pretty much every player. Sharangovich has had a nice game. But also a few giveaways. See also Backlund.

I saw 3 with Huby. Brzustewicz has had some brutal turnovers too. And that Klapka goal was the one shift where Huby guy has done anything decent in this game.

I hope Abbott wished for a mega steal for the Flames when they trade Andersson.

Klapka sure does love those smelling salts. I need a gif of that.

Now, I get it. The Flames didn't want to make a trade and overshadow Abbott's birthday.

Is the Flames' streak of winning every time they score 4 or more goals, still live? Where they at - 46? 47?

I suggest you focus on another player and look for mistakes. You will find at least as many.

Huberdeau has not been anything special today. But also not an issue.
