Johnny Hoxville
The Return of a Legend
None of Monahan, Gaudreau, or Giordano were good enough last season outside of a couple weeks here and there. All the added depth won't matter that much if they don't bounce back. Lindholm and Tkachuk were better but not really by that much even.
Those 5 players will all need to play well in 2020-21 especially if the season is significantly shortened. There's really not the month and a half 'figuring it out' period the Flames usually take to start the season. The roster has a lot of versatility right now, probably the best roster the Flames have had in 30 years. Hopefully Ward can find the right combination and get the team playing a style that will maximize their success.
I agree with most of this, but I think the best roster we have had since our Cup was in 2010/11.
