And yet, with all that, I don't know if Calgary fares much better over the course of a season.
Going to be difficult replicating the success they had last season in terms of 1-goal games.
Losing Stempniak and Cammalleri is going to hurt. Bollig could be a top 6 player for Calgary next season.
It's going to be difficult to out-suck the flames next year.
