If JG isn't scoring, he isn't doing anything. Offensively he has elite vision, hands, and is a great skater, but his shots are muffins. Physically he brings next to nothing, in fact he is a liability, and has no exemption defensive skills to speak of.
Bottom line; the Flames do not have a single elite player.

The Flames have plenty of talent. This is a promising group of young players. Utilization of that talent is the issue.
I actually don’t find the players boring, but do find the team boring...if that makes sense.
