What Needs To Happen For Bill Arnold To Make The Flames

Bill Arnold might just be the most intriguing Flames centre not in the NHL. There were some comments and concerns, especially in his senior year at Boston College, that he may have piggy-backed off of Johnny Gaudreau’s skill. That can be put to rest now.

Arnold was one third of the NCAA’s most potent offensive line alongside Gaudreau and Kevin Hayes, yet he’s the only member of that line that hasn’t made it to the NHL full-time. After a very successful (if not banged-up) rookie pro season, Arnold’s chance to join his linemates as an NHL regular seems to be leaning towards a matter of ‘when’ than ‘if.’

Let’s explore what needs to happen for Arnold to make the Calgary Flames next season.
