I like the Flames changes of better addressing the position in the offseason as money isn't going to be a factor for the Flames and I expect the Jets to be conservative as they normally do and come back with essentially the same goaltenders next season.

Disagree, Connor Hellebuyck will be given every chance to be the #1 guy. I also see them not re-signing Hutch.
Will that be enough? God I hope so but doubt it. Mark Stuart isn't just bad, he's statistically the worst penalty killer in the NHL and a total tire fire with his possession metrics.
If Hellebuyck plays average and Stuart is either gone or bottom pairing, I can see Winnipeg making it. Lots of ifs though.
