Cogliano 18
Pisani 18
Nilson 11
Penner got 31 the year you referred to, but had never had 30 up to that point.
The reason this lineup sucked was because NONE of their nine 30 goal scorers had ever actually gotten 30 goals up to that point, and only one of those 9 have managed the feat in their entire careers since - and he did it once.
Thank you for this awesome post!

The point I was trying for (and apparently missed) was the false optimism generated by having a bunch of 3rd line scorers. A lot of the press were calling for the Oilers tomake the playoffs that year based on their late season rally and scoring depth.
This thread was going on about how many good player the Flames have and that they have so many scorers that they can basically roll 4 scoring lines and there is no room for checkers.
How does this years Flames line-up differ that drastically than the oilers in 2009?
Iginla and Cammalleri are the only Flames forwards to actual get 30 goals in a year. Yet there is no room to play Jones, Begin Comeau and jackman.
