The only player they've lost that IMO was significant, if not even addition by subtraction is Hudler (you could make an argument for Russell but I won't). Trading or not signing Colborne, Jones, Raymond = no loss.
The goaltending upgrade is huge. If the Flames had Elliot/Johnson last year they make the POs.
I think the D will be more stable with Kevin in and Hamilton having a year in Calgary under his belt.
Fwds: Sam is going to get better. Brouwer will fit in. Bouma will bounce back. The Flames are pretty deep down the middle where it counts.
