Mixed in with all the negativity during Calgary’s 2021 season, there were a few promising individual performances. We have a ton of questions looking forward to next year, most of them based on the frustrating results of this past season. Flames fans are hoping for significant bounce back years from key players, and for good reason. At the same time, there’s a trio of players knocking on the door to significant breakout years.
Dillon Dube
There was a lot to like about Dube’s first season spent entirely in the NHL. He played top nine minutes all year and set career highs across the board with 11 goals, 11 assists, and 22 points.
