Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

The gang stays together. Similar to Conroy too Iginla Tkachuk takes over the C before the 2020-21 season and bumps to the top line with a C who can drive play, Monahan and Gaudreau have great years not playing against the other teams best shutdown line

Tkachuk - C

Giordano - A

Monahan - A

Backlund - A

Line 1
Physical scoring line that can maintain puck possession in the offensive zone while not being inept in the D zone.

Line 2
Fast, puck moving line with a great trigger man, gets sheltered match ups

Line 3
Defensively sound line that can cycle the puck in the offensive zone when they get the chance will get most minutes against other teams top line

Line 4
Bruising physical line with speed

Pairing 1
Gio gets a Brodie replacement, this is how I would start the year and very quickly promote Andersson and Valimaki to the big minutes against top lines

Pairing 2
Young an unproven, Andersson has shown that he is a top 4 guy and I think he is good enough to shelter Valimaki while he gets his feet wet in the league

Pairing 3:
Flames are extremely high on Connor Mackey, veteran D man there to mentor by the end of the season Calgary will have the best Connor Mac in Alberta
