The Flames structure isn't different from 25-27 of the 32 teams. You're not going to find many different systems, or systems where offensive players can do whatever they want when they want.
With that said I think they need to look at the shot volume issue and ask themselves if it's hurting the offence.
Is it all finishing? Well their high danger metrics are down this year, better last year but not elite.
Has league goaltending improved to the point that shot volume as a directive isn't working? Does it take away from generating chances because you're rolling with the outside shot too often?
