By good NHL team standards, the Flames have 2 solid 3rd lines, a decent 2ish - 3rd line (a tweener), and an ok 2nd line.
No true first line, and a lot of holes on D.

That would be perfectly fine and I think ideal for the team. It's not going to happen however, as 4th lines never see enough ice team required to properly develop a player into a top 6 scorer. The flames are definitely deep up front but I can't see the 4th line getting more than 7 minutes a game.
