So the Flames pretty strong center depth is roughly the 18th best center depth out of 32 teams.

Kopitar-Dubois, Barzal-Nelson, Petterson-Miller, are debatable.
Also, some of these pairs are propped up by one very good player (Mackinnon, Barkov, Eichel)
So, the Flames are probably middle of the pack.
Add Backlund and I'd say the 1-2-3 punch is top 1/3 of the league.
Lose Lindholm and it is not pretty
