The problem with the Flames offense is we have skilled passers but we lack true snipers. Marner is a very skilled passer but not a sniper. I fear that if we sign Marner to a monster contract, he becomes Huberdeau 2.0 and we still don't have a guy who can consistently bury grade A scoring chances these passers create for each other.

Kadri led the team with 35 goals. A nice total, tied for 18th in the NHL, but that's a career high and he will be 35 next season, I don't think we'll see that number from him again. Would love to be proven wrong though.
