## Resource

Calgary Flames’ forward corps is in flux heading into next season, with a mix of promising young talent and veteran depth — but no true elite scorer to light up the scoreboard. While defense and goaltending look solid, the offense needs that spark, with Jonathan Huberdeau’s 62-point season a few years back standing as the benchmark. Matt Coronato, Matvei Gridin, Morgan Frost, and Joel Farabee all showed flashes of potential, with Gridin’s late-season surge and Frost/Farabee’s 20-goal campaigns hinting at a breakout year. Coach Ryan Huska faces a tough roster decision with 21 forwards vying for NHL spots. Projected lines include a “new 3M” of Gridin, Frost, and Coronato, a shutdown second line of Honzek, Backlund, and Farabee, and a veteran third line anchored by Huberdeau and Strome. With too many wingers, expect trades to clear space and reshape roles — part of a rebuild, not a weakness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
