I feel like it really comes down to top end skill at scoring which the Flames have had a paucity of since Iginla went to Pittsburgh.
I don't think that is true at all.

Last year the Flames were a top-three-scoring team in the NHL.They were middling offensively this year while the team as whole struggled, but since the new year have been once again a top-scoring team.

The Flames are not short of talent. It is other elements within their game that has held them back.
