I think having a true franchise center would obviously be great. But rarely do even championship teams have star players at goalie, defence, and center. Normally at least one of those positions is compromised. For example, the Avalanche have MacKinnon and Makar but just stumbled along in net.
What the Flames do need is more scoring power. I think Parekh himself will make a big difference. I would say the emergence of the offence orientated defencemen, as a position, makes teams less dependent on centers overall.
But the flames definitely need a couple more game breaking forwards. They'll likely need to get that either through luck, picking outside the top 10, or a great Ufa signing or trade.
I honestly don't see this team finishing bottom five unless they move Kadri and Weegar or they get a new coaching system that's less effective.
