Flames need more speed, but they aren't the slowest team. They did miss a high-end speed player with skill on their top 2 lines and their PP suffered because of it.
Defense and bottom end forwards had plenty of speed guys.
If Lindholm stays and you build a first line with him and Huberdeau, a top end speed guy would complement those 2 more than Toffoli did. Toffoli had a great year too but that line together was not good, and I personally never liked it even in the pre-season when projecting lines. Need players that complement each other.
