Pavelec was the worst goalie in the NHL last year based on stats. I would take Calgary's goalies for sure, and probably Edmonton and Buffalo (I like Scrivens and Enroth/Neuvirth has some potential).
Centers: Little, Perreault, Scheifele, Slater
Probably better than the other 3 teams just due to Little but he is not a world beater, especially with the Centers he will have to go against in his division.

Trust me, they were in close consideration. They have very good wingers though, and can score a lot of goals. The defense is pretty decent, but have been coached so poorly that they haven't fulfilled their potential. They at least got a better option at coach for a full year, so hopefully they can cover up a bit more for Pavelec. He's probably not much better than Enroth/Neuvirth, so yeah, they will be bad again this year.
