Saying someone wasnt good in the playoffs because he didn't care is a reasonable response?
Maybe not this year, but going forward, they got worse. Gaudreau and Tkachuk will be impact players longer than Kadri (32) and Huberdeau (29). This year they will probably comfortably make playoffs and get knocked out in round 1 or 2.
Post of the year I say
But but but… they have the second most beautiful coach in the chel !!
From what I've read after they figure out all the cap shenanigans it should be:
Nope, they had to choose between Ryan, Foegele and Janmark to send down for basically the year without a trade. Here's the snippet from Daniel Nugent-Bowman's article.
I think they are trying to sneak him through waivers early then recall to be cap compliant. The other option that's been mentioned is signing Demers to the same contract.
They have good goaltending, good defense, decent coach and pretty good set of forwards... Why shouldn't the flames fanbase be excited?
Huberdeau and Kadri are going to crumble under the pressure of being primary offensive drivers for a whole season. They’ve never had less support in their careers.
Worse. They will see Looch looking back confused at them.
I think we underestimate how dynamic Gaudreau was for them. Say what you will about him, the guy was insanely dynamic for a winger and generated so much easy offense through zone entries and passing alone. Not to mention the penalties drawn.
