Many wouldn't consider the Coach of Year, Lady Byng, Jennings, Leadership, Selke, Masterton, Clancy, etc. to be major awards.
Rather, the Calder, Rocket Richard, Art Ross, Ted Lindsay, Norris, Hart, Conn Smythe, and Vezina are the major awards. This is admittedly arbitrary.
The Flames have 2 out of the 160 major awards in the past 20 years. The average team has about 5 in that time.
I believe the Blue Jackets only have 2 in that period. The Wild only have one. Dallas apparently doesn't have any. Same goes for the Islanders and Sabres.
Interestingly, none of these teams have won any cups in the past 20 years. Buffalo in 2007 is the only Presidents Trophy. These teams only have one finals appearance (Dallas).

You've cherry picked to avoid a lot of the awards the Flames have won in that time (Byng, Adams, Leadership, Jennings, Clancy). You include the Ross and Richard, which are counting awards but exclude the Jennings, which is also a counting award.
Using the awards you included, here are the per team award counts since the lockout:
- Washington - 19
- Edmonton - 17
- Pittsburgh - 17
- Tampa Bay - 12
- Chicago - 11
- Boston - 9
- Colorado - 7
- Detroit - 6
- Toronto - 6
- Vancouver - 6
- San Jose - 5
- Montreal - 4
- Rangers - 4
- Anaheim - 3
- Columbus - 3
- Los Angeles - 3
- New Jersey - 3
- Buffalo - 2
- Calgary - 2
- Carolina - 2
- Florida - 2
- Nashville - 2
- Ottawa - 2
- Vegas - 2
- Winnipeg - 2
- Dallas - 1
- Minnesota - 1
- Islanders - 1
- Seattle - 1
- St. Louis - 1
- Philadelphia - 0
- Arizona/Utah - 0
Keep in mind that a lot of the repeat winners are the same person winning a lot of awards. Washington's 19 awards are Holtby's one Vezina, and 18 various awards for Ovechkin. Edmonton and Pittsburgh each have 17, but they're all McDavid & Draisaitl and Crosby & Malkin. So, those skew the numbers a lot. Tampa has 6 different players and Chicago has 5.
The Flames are in the middle of the pack, which should be expected. They're a middle of the pack team. There are a lot of good teams without a lot of individual awards too.
