I along with other posters here just happen to think that McDavid, Draisaitl and Maroon will be hard pressed to repeat their impressive performances from last year. I also expect that Tkachuk may slip a bit this year, but the big difference here is that unlike McDavid and Draisaitl inEdmonton Tkachuk does not essentially account for all of the Flames offence. It is a regression that the Flames are much better equipped to absorb.

This seems like the token position around here. "Our young guys will move forward and the other teams will regress". Tkachuk might regress but it will be picked up by others! And other players more skilled then him will regress!!
The real question is, after how many years of hearing how good Calgary's defence is, if it falters again this year will people finally question it? We know Smith will throw them under the bus cause that's what he does.
