I'd be shocked if the Flames picked outside the top ten this year and would not be surprised if it ended up being in the top 3

First of all with all the changes happening to the lines this season, who would you even consider "3rd/4th line guys" there are currently 7 flames forwards with over 10 points and Backlund would probably be there too if it wasn't for his injury. Cervenka is close at 8 and is steadily progressing to the adjustment of coming into the NHL.
We definitely have trouble on the defensive end I will give you that. But i think that is in large because of poor goal tending so far which we all know Kipper is gunna snap out of.
