You make it sound like the Flames organization is overflowing with forwards that can put up 30+ points/season. They aren't as there is a major drop off from Monahan and Gadreau's offensive production to Backlund, Colborne, Bennett, Frolik and then further off a cliff to guys like Jooris, Ferland, Stajan, Bouma, etc.

If the next coach employs a more defensively structured game there's the likelihood of less points from the blue line and I simply don't see forwards on the roster that can pick up that slack and removing Colborn would make that worse.
