I don't think the Flames have a true top talent ... they have some excellent secondary players and with that you have to hope they can get it done.
Just don't see the fourth line as the logical target for criticism.
Honestly I think this comes down to the six or seven guys playing defense and whether or not they can transition the puck to the team's deeper set of forwards this year.
If they can the forwards and goaltending is good enough to make them a pretty good hockey team.
