The Flames are probably better simply because Lewis, Ritchie and Lucic aren’t in the line-up.
While I wouldn’t expect Coronato to fill the role of a Toffoli or Coleman, I wonder if we’re better off freeing up cap space for a better 4th line center and having Coronato in their spot.

Looks at Huberdeau and Ruzicka…hmm, they’re not to be trusted! Better get Looch out there.

How is Mang in the 97th percentile for offence and Huberdeau is only 77th

I really hope we find a permanent spot for Ruzicka next season.
If we learned anything this season — it would be that expected goals is far from a perfect stat. Particularly the models used on free stats sites.
Darryl Sutter when he takes Ruzicka off the 1st line and realizes that makes his point production slow down: 😦
I knew Brett Ritchie was bad but holy fuck
Damnn Tanev is such an underrated beast
While some of the numbers seem a little off, it mostly aligns with what I think the Flames should probably do.
If the Flame’s line-up was:
​
|Left Wing|Center|Right Wing|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Huberdeau|Lindholm|Dube|
|Toffoli|Kadri|Ruzicka|
|Mangiapane|Backlund|Pelletier|
|Coleman|???|Duehr|
​
|Left Defense|Right Defense|
|:-|:-|
|Hanifin|Andersson|
|Weegar|Tanev|
|Zadorov|Kylington|
