Don't see the Flamesimproving their record over last year. Expecting a guy like Gaudreau to replace Cammalleri out of the gate is unrealistic. Obviously we hope that Bennett has a great camp like Monahan did last year and earns a spot, but we'll have to wait and see. Even if we plug Gaudreau and Bennett into the lineup, we're still likely to see a drop in offense next season. Glencross being healthy will help, guys like Backlund and Brodie should continue to improve, but I'm not expecting much nextseason. Our D hasn't changed much, Engelland bring much the same style of game that SOB did so I don't expect any miracles. hiller is definately an improvement over Berra, but Remo/Hiller will have their work cut out for them with the paltry amount of offensethis group is likely to produce. Hope the kids surprise me this year, but I think we have a real shot at McDavid.
