FlamesNation mailbag: low danger chances and trade talk

The bad news is the Calgary Flames aren’t having a great November. The good news is they’ve snapped their losing skid. Let’s dive into the mailbag!

We're getting lots of shots on net, but not scoring. Just unlucky, or are we taking fewer than average high danger shots?

This is fundamentally the case. Compared to last season, looking at the stats at Natural Stat Trick, the Flames have the puck less and are doing less dangerous things with it. That equates to fewer shot attempts overall, fewer shots on net, fewer scoring chances and fewer high danger chances.
