To be compared to an elite squad you need an elite talent makeup and the flames are still missing an ingredient up front that would turn them into a team like the bruins.
Coyle has had some down years but his career high is 56 points, and they've got him on their third line.
I want the flames to have that kind of depth and obviously treliving does too or he wouldn't have been in on stone, Zucker and kadri in the last 6 months.

Look, I'm agreeing with you. I even said another top 6 player would do wonder's for this team, but calling the Flames forward group a dog's breakfast isn't fair either.
Our forward group last season contained 4 guys over 70 points, and 8 guys over 30 points. Bennett came close with 27. That is great offensive depth and far from being bad. For example St. Louis had 1 guy over 70 points and also had 8 guys over 30 points.
It's irrelevant what Coyle has done in the past because he was playing in a different situation. I can tell you he won't be getting 56 points if he plays on the third line all year.
