I would say they are better after the moves.
Roy is younger than McDonald, and McDonald was retiring one way or another so at least they got a replacement for him.
Perron is good but not great and they got back a promising young player who needed a change of scenery in Paarjarvi and open up more top 6 space for Rattie/Tarasenko.
Bouw + Leopold are much better then Russell and Redden at this point and it is not even close.

Will they finish higher than 3rd in the West?
They just seem so much like the Flames when they wrapped up Iginla, Phanuef, Regehr and Kipper when they said it wouldn't fit under the cap.
This off season they were supposed to have trouble hanging on to Berglund, Shattenkirk, Pietroangelo and Stewart.... with Stewart most likely to be moved. They got them all ...... wonder if it will work out as well (or poorly) as it did for the Flames.
