To say the Flames have overhauled their group of forwards this summer would be an understatement. Calgary has added James Neal, Elias Lindholm, Derek Ryan, and Austin Czarnik to the mix while simultaneously saying goodbye to Micheal Ferland, Troy Brouwer, Matt Stajan, and Kris Versteeg. On paper, this looks like an improved bunch, but it leads to valid questions about how a new coaching staff will assemble, and more importantly, use this revamped group.

Whether you were a fan of Glen Gulutzan’s work as head coach or not, he was fairly consistent with his forward strategy.
