The mean average last year was 91.1 points but the median was 94. 20th place was 87 points, so it seems their model is also predicting that the standings tighten up. Nonetheless, the statements remain mutually exclusive, though you do explain why he created the discrepancy - he's claiming the Flames would still be above average relative to last year, but below average this year. So the conclusion we can draw from this article is that the writer expects the Flames to regress relative to the rest of the league.
