1) Monahan might still be this, though obviously a different type of player.... I'd agree this is the Flames weakest point.
2) Backlund when he's healthy and on his game is basically Horvat.
3) Dube has a chance at this role I feel, if they can sort out the deployment and roll 3 scoring lines.
4) Having seen very little of Valimaki yet I'm still optimistic.
5) I'm still hoping Parsons turns out, if not, Wolf is looking good too. Granted, not in the NHL, but I don't think who we have are that bad either until these guys are ready
