The Flames while obviously lacking fast skaters also lack good passers, so as long as the guy at 16 can actually make and receive passes I’d consider that a win.

There's still a guy at the end of the passing chain who needs to have enough speed to break around the D or at least push them back. Flames have decent outlet passers when they execute.
