I disagree that it is just as simple as that. We have seen this same group of players produce well offensively, and the fact that a high number of key players suffered significant drops in their individual shooting percentages suggests that the skill is there, but for whatever reason was MIA this season. I will agree that the Flames need an upgrade offensively, but they are certainly not devoid of talent. An upgrade on RW and a return of players like Backlund, Frolik, Bennett, Brodie to their career average shooting percentages should make a world of difference for this group.
