Quoting: TMLBRIAN
Still missing super star + star talent on forward. I suspect they still miss the playoffs. D Group looks nice though.
Could acquire that along the way, but Kadri, Huberdeau & Kuzmenko have proven they can be 0.80-1.00PPG Players in CGY, they just need to do so consistently
Zary’s up & coming and Sharangovich started slow, yet turned it on, but yeah, Mang, Backlund & Coleman are typically 0.50-0.67PPG Players, so we definitely would need Mang to get back above that, Coleman to repeat that and then Duclair, Pelletier, Coronato or Pospisil to break out as Flames Players to consider this Team a “Contender”
If we don’t have a “SuperStar”, all I can go with is Good Defence, Hope for the above to happen and Pray for Hot Goaltending
Duclair’s a gamble, but his Speed, Grit & Tenacity still intrigue me. He broke out in Tampa Bay, so he’s still got his offensive instincts & skill intact
