You look at the teams with a continually high power play % and watch their usage and its very easy to determine the "trend" the Flames just dont have.

Edmonton
Tampa
Toronto
Buffalo (this season)

All 4 of these teams have aggressive cross ice passing setups that focus on utilizing a guy who's deadly accurate from the circle. Stamkos, Draisaitl, Thompson, Matthews always waiting for that option, meanwhile the rest of their PP can be deadly as well but teams have to respect that shooting option giving them more room.

Finishing is obviously #1

But we constantly lack a true finisher with a deadly shot from the point, or 1 timer @ the circle. Teams just dont respect the Flames power play because its primarily perimeter passing back and forth with very little pressure. Johnny was pretty good last year with the cross ice feather passes and nobody has picked up that slack this year.

Last year they utilized that bump pass to the slot, but most teams have caught on to that now (Monahan's bread and butter) and it just doesn't work.
They also used Lindholm in this bump spot a lot but for whatever reason they haven't done it outside the first few games this season. His shot is deceptively good, I don't know why they dont go back to trying that and let Huberdeau be the behind the net/possession guy Tkachuk usually was last year.

We need a deadly finishing shot, Toffoli is pretty good from the circle but he never one times it, its always a possession based wrist shot that takes time to setup.

Stone's shot on the point should be utilized more (though he needs to hit the net) but they really do continue to need a shooting first forward who can rifle it from the circle at any given point.
