Maata's on IR too. Detroit had a lot of additions this year, but not really similar to the Flames.
Perron, Kubalik, Chiarot, Maata, Husso.
Really helped with depth to push guys like Suter and Fabbri down to more suitable bottom 6. Guys like Marc Staal free to go to Fla.
Free of injury, the fwd lines may be
Vrana-Larkin-Raymond
Bert-Copp-Perron
Fqbbri-Veleno-Berggren
Soderstrom-Rasmussen-Sundqvist
Suter, Zadina
That's pretty decent.
If only injuries weren't piling up.
For the Flames, akin to losing
Lindholm, Toffoli, Mangia, Dube and maybe Hanifin thereabouts.
2/3s top line, a 2nd and 3rd liner and a top 4 dman.(Maata's been top pair with Hronek).
That's a ton. Their depth has been good enough to stay competitive, but yikes.
