Talent usually wins out in the end, and there's nothing about this team that tells me they will do worse than last year. There's also nothing about the competition that tells me more teams in the conference will improve than those that will regress a bit. Leaving Calgary in a pretty good spot.
Calgary has virtually the same record as Anaheim, Minnesota and SJ. I see all of those teams making the POs. Calgary has a worse record right now than LA, Vegas and Vancouver, at least two of which are not PO bound (I suppose LA could make it with spit and duct tape).

I don't worry about other teams as I feel it's up to your team to taken care of business. Bubble teams overly focus on what other teams are doing. I'm not saying the Flames will miss the playoffs but my hopes was that this team could eventually elevate themselves above the Sharks, Blues, Sharks, etc but so far we have seen no indication of them being any better than last year's team that needed a couple of long winning streaks to make the playoffs.
