Maybe internally we can count on Toffoli, Coleman, and Dube adding 30 more combined in year over year improvements.
Full year of Ruzicka will add in 20 points instead of Ritchie and Richardson.
If the Flames can find a 50-60 point top six forward than they have replaced Tkachuks offense internally.
Who is that person?
How much will it take to get them?

Whoever gets moved up the first line with Huberdeau/Lindholm will produce 20-30 more points than usual. Huberdeau has done this with just about every single linemate.
Then whoever gets slotted into the position that person left will produce more too.
It's more like a 20-30ish point loss. Could be filled with a guy like Poirier jumping into the lineup as a 40-50 point guy. Could also be filled by trading a d-man for a top 6 forward.
