Troy Brouwer, Kris Versteeg, Chris Stewart, Curtis Lazar, Garnet Hathaway. That’s the list of wingers on the Calgary Flames from this past season who shoot right. Not exactly a very strong crop.
In a combined 231 games last year, those four players registered 16 goals and 42 assists for 58 total points. Not exactly the production you’re hoping for out of a group of five forwards, regardless of their placement in the lineup.
Of course there were some nice contributions by Micheal Ferland and Michael Frolik as right wingers, but the Flames have lacked a top six right handed forward since the day Jarome Iginla was traded.
