Which forward on the team outside of Monahan, Gaudreau, and Tkachuk (who hasn’t cracked 50pts yet) will be able to score 60-70 on the Flames?
Obviously they need to add offensive players up front. But subtracting a potent offensive threat from the backend to get it is not smart asset management. Expecting Brodie to get back to 45 points or for Andersson to somehow be an offensive dynamo is very risky. Why not use those players and/or other prospect assets to add to your big guns rather than subtracting one of them? Diversify your offence, not subtract one strength to get another.
