Don't get me wrong the Predators forward group is vastly superior on the defensive side of the puck, but goal scoring for the Predators is going to be more difficult than usual for them. But you are underrating the offensive talent of the Flames top 9 wingers, offensively the Predators don't even compare.

Are you considering Forsberg as being in the Preds lineup? He should be a full time player this year and will help answer their need for scoring. Perhaps between him and a couple of other young players (Bourque, Wilson, Watson) they will be able to fill in the wings on either side of Legwand and Fisher.
It will likely require Rinne to continue to keep the scoring low but if he can do that then a small increase in scoring for the Preds could go a long way.
