But our current roster, including all the failed players of the past, is lacking high end skill. Why is it that we don’t have a one timer on this team? Why do we miss the net so often? Do have enough players who can create their own shot and actually score from afar. Outside of Johnny Gaudreau, who creates and sets up plays for their linemates? It’s a lot of greasy, manufactured goals from everyone outside the 1st line.-
I’m not wrong when I say we’re lacking skill and talent compared to the top teams. Even Brad Treliving himself admitted in the offseason that goal scoring ability was going to be the weak link on this team. If the GM himself even thinks so, then I’m probably right in my assumption.

If the flames had one additional 15 goal player in their roster...over say a Matt Stajan hem we would be well in the top 15 in scoring. So you are saying right now we are devoid of skill, but if we could add one Paul Byron we wouldn't be?
The reason we don't have a one timer on the PP is that Gulutzan refuses to play dmen on their off side. The reason we're been shooting wide so much is that Gulutzan's ultra slow controlled possession game allows the other team to get into defensive position, so we can either shoot wide or into shin pads. These are equally plausible explanations yet you ignore them, and all the other dumb stuff Gulutzan does and lay the blame on an imagined love affair with grinders.
