The high-profile Flames skaters are having a miserable series: the top line is nowhere to be found, none of the high scorers through the regular season are actually scoring, the defence is a disaster and there’s only so much one goalie can do. Things do not look particularly hopeful for the Flames in the spring of 2019 at all.
But – even through small contributions – some members of the team are setting themselves up to look like contributors for the 2019-20 season and beyond. It’s mostly bad, but it’s not all bad.
