Parekh helps.
Coronato evolving helps.
A healthy Zary helps.
The possibility of a Gridin addition helps.
But still don't know if they have the firepower to go toe to toe with the top 15 teams in the league.

Oh for sure, but this is why you can only afford to have your top line try this. The Flames are certainly not built for a high power offense, but I think they have at least 5 guys who could flourish under some interpretation of it.
