Further, they are 25th in the league in terms of scoring that comes from even strength goals.
Last year if the power play wasn't going, the flames weren't winning. The team absolutely needs a goal scoring winger to play top 6 minutes this year.

They did but it's also pretty obvious to anyone who watched the team last year that this past season was a tale of two teams. The team that slowly adjusted to the new system and struggled with its uptake, and the team that seemingly came into its own in February. Last 30 games of the season this was a much different team, so the big question is whether that is the team that shows up this year. If it is then I think we win the division. Gaudreau scored 30 points in 30 games and Monahan had 27 in that same frame. There's good scoring talent on this team, it just didn't show until the team bought into GGs system. And I still don't think it's unreasonable to expect, or atleast hope, that Bennett finally breaks through this season. If he does then we have incredibly good scoring depth.
That said, Oshie would fit nice. Consistent 50-60 point right wing whose a great defensive player.
