We know by now what the Flames have in their forward ranks. They have one of the best 2-way lines in the entire NHL featuring Matthew Tkachuk, Mikael Backlund and Michael Frolik. They have a pair of young, prolific scorers in Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau. They have Sam Bennett, who could be really good but has struggled throughout the season. They have a couple veterans who can be shuffled around the top-9, the versatile bargain Kris Versteeg and Troy “full of leadership but not that great at other things” Brouwer. Then there is a collection of 4th line forwards, featuring Matt Stajan, Micheal Ferland, Alex Chiasson, Lance Bouma, Garnet Hathaway and Freddie Hamilton.
