Within 3 years, Reschny and Potter will likely also hit the 20 goal mark, replacing Kadri's production. So probably enough to maintain the Flames' recent goal production, but probably not enough to improve on it much without an influx of additional skill not currently in the organization.

Gridin, and especially Reschny and Potter, have not proven that they are not even capable NHL players, much less pencilling them in for 20+ goals.
First round picks, especially later first round picks, are not even sure bets to be NHL players much less hitting the 20 goal plateau.
