Colorado's blueline last year was no where near comparible to what Calgary will go in with next year if we keep the top 4.

I'd argue that while the Avs have a way more skilled top 6, that the Flames have a deeper forward group with a better bottom 6.

The Avs got some pretty amazing goaltending from Varlamov who was in consideration for the Vezina last year, he has been slightly more human this year.

The two teams aren't compatible, so I don't believe that the predictions are accurate.
