Only real production dip should be looked at Kadri vs Tkachuk. But end of the day the overall 200ft game of Kadri is going to prevent a lot more goals than we need to score.
So we may see a dip in GF but we are going to see a much larger dip in GA.
It's going to tip in the Flames favor.
I'd wager the Flames GA vs GF percentage will be about equal at the end of the year.

Yeah, last year their differential was +85, which was 2nd overall. For me, this is the number that matters, and goals for is only half the equation.
The question for the Flames this year will be: can they reproduce that? Can they continue to be an elite team with respect to differential. I don't know if they'll hit 9+85 again, but I bet they are in the top 5 again.
