Ok I phrased that wrong, I do agree that the Flames have secondary scoring with those 3 guys (who IMO are a great third line) but they need a second line scorer. I guess it depends on where the Flames draft and who they get as a UFA but I think the Flames need a dynamic scorer added to the team. To me it seems that the Flames get secondary scoring only when Johnny is on his game and the other team focuses on him but when he's having an off night, there really isn't anyone else to carry the load and make things happen.

I'm a big Drouin supporter but it would depend on the cost and who else the Flames can get.

10000000% agree about the goalie situation. The Flames need a good goalie to succeed, plain and simple. Any thought of bringing back Hiller or Ramo should thrown out. I'm on the fence about Ortio but I think he should be kept in the organization, if the Flames can get 2 better goalies I'd prefer that.
