Average goaltending for the first 20 and flames we be 2-3 in the playoffs with games in hand.
So they dont need the filler anymore, and that problem will take care of itself or BT will fix it even sooner.
As long as they dont sign anymore filler contracts. I think Russell fits into the filler category. Let him cash in somewhere else. A shot blocker will be valuable at the deadline.

I think "this good" means exactly where they are now. The expectation a couple years ago was that they'd be a lottery team last year, maybe a mid level non PO team this year, and into the POs next year, followed by having a very competitive team for long post season runs for several years. By that standard, the Flames are still ahead of the curve.
