Disagree.
I looks like we'll have Backlund, Horak, Monahan, Baertschi, Galiardi, Ramo, O'Brien, Russell, David Jones, and Hanowski, all in full time roles. Backlund was the only one of those players who played the full season with the Flames last year, and he'll have a much expanded role.
So that's already 10 new faces. Plus we are likely to see several more faces through the year. By next trade deadline, it's likely that over half the team will be new. Pretty big turnover for one year.
