All signs point to Hanifin being just as productive long term. He is trending very well. He has size and is willing to use it more than the bigger Hamilton. The bigger issue for me is the loss of a RHS RD. They are harder to find than LHS LD. Lindholm's worse year is Ferland's best year. There's no reason believe Lindholm will put up worse numbers in Ferland's role (1st line RW). Not to mention, if all goes super well, Lindholm could hit 70-points on that line. Plus, he gives us a RHS C in the top 6. Something we were missing. Ok, you’re willing to call Bennett a bust who has averaged 29.67 points a season over 3 years whereas Lindholm averages 37.6 over his career. It’s a difference of 8 points and Bennett has only had 3 seasons. In a year where Bennett played with a quality C he scored about Lindholm’s average as a rookie. Since then the only consistent thing for Bennett has been his inconsistent line mates. I dont know who lindholm played with in Carolina. To me the numbers show the lack of quality line mates. Bennett is not Crosby. Bennett can’t get the players he had points if they can’t do anything with it. I see Bennett’s 2-way game equally as good as Lindholm’s. I get why everyone thinks Bennett can’t dish as he hasn’t been much of a passer. I think that speaks to the linemates just as well. So I think Bennett could be a little closer to similar to Lindholm than we’d think. Eho knows, maybe they make a really good pair!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett was supposedly the next Doug Gilmour Lindholm was supposedly the next Henrik Zetterberg Bennett is now the next Nick Foligno Lindholm is the next Backlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFan99 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 It would be nice for the fans and the team if BT would do some majic during the season to help his team win. Not, wait until the off season draft to make a team mark. This has been 3 lost seasons now. I'm sure this is BTs last kick at the can. BT will over pay during FA but not over pay during the season to help his team win? How many of his players like him? I'm sure not many. It's tough on the players to keep learning new systems and I'm sure it's wearing on them. There is only so many changes u can make before the players lose faith in the BT machine.

When they waived Freddie Hamilton in mid season the writers stated there was a divided dressing room because Freddie was taking a roster spot through favouritism. That's not me talking. That's the sports writers talking. In the message board policy where does it state that all comments must absolutely be positive? Check out the NFL and MLB message boards.

rickross Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 BT has done his job. Bill Peters has enough tools to make this team a true competitor . If the Flames miss the playoffs this year do they fire him after year 1. How long of a leash do you give Peters with all these shinny new toys for him to play with?

But, if the power play is in ashes again, then he is in deep Yamaha. We had goaltender issues last year (Smith's injury and weak backups) and we just couldn't score. Surely, scoring will not be a major problem with this crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, scoring will not be a major problem with this crew. On paper, scoring should not be an issue. My concern is complacency, it happened to this team's D. Touted as amongst the top in the league...almost considered elite!...yet Mike Smith was getting pummelled with 40+ shots per game! Mike Smith essentially saved us from giving the Islanders a top 10 pick this year. I'm hopefully the Flames don't just magically expect the offence to show up because of the names on paper, it seemed to happen on defence. I'm sure coaching shared the blame at the time but it will be interesting to see what Huska can do with Hanifin in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 If this group doesn't get the job done you look at the players and only the players. Don't give me coach excuses or GM excuses, it's time for them to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think GGulitzan could screw up a play off appearance with this group BT has assembled. So ya if we miss the playoffs Peters should be gone and BT should be on short notice.

I don't think all his decisions were based on "we have nobody else to do it". Some for sure, not all. He had options on the PP, and chose the ones that clearly weren't working. Saying that, the players now have to take responsibility. No passengers now, okay? If players continue to be played when there are better options and the coach is too stubborn, then yes it's more on the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going4TheCup Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I am really excited for this season and I think that Bill Peters will make the players accountable for their play. Also I think he will manage the team better including Mike Smith and Will actually call a timeout when needed unlike Glen Gulutzen. The team has made some drastic changes and I believe the Calgary Flames will make the playoffs because they have the talent to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ is the only team I feel will be a playoff team EDM essentially has the same team as last year except for a couple bottom 6 additions LA is getting older and slower ANA older and slower ARI still young and growing VGK added Stastny but lost 2 key pieces in Neal and Perron VAN rebuilding Id say we should be battling for a division title this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added that KHL guy too. ARI has added some skill to their lineup to go with some really good players. The end of last season is more of what to expect.
