And for those of us watching, the Flames have been arguably the most entertaining team to watch in the entire league. And the most exciting edition of the Flames that I've seen since the late 80s.

Listening to most of the guys on TSN radio here in Montreal, they basically have the consensus that outside of the home team, the one team to watch this year is the Flames. They complain daily about now having to stay up late to watch them play.
FWIW, Flames can maintain the same scoring rate with a league average shooting percentage by taking 5 more shots per game.
Not sure 'possession' will improve quite that much by next year, but increasing shots is the easy answer to a drop in shooting % from this point on.
