The biggest hole is on the PK ... Is Anderrson the Heats #1 PK D or is it Wotherspoon? Who would the Flames have the most confidence in on the PK?

The thing is, you can't trust this coach to not play his tire-fire third pairing when he has it available. The top 4 healthy defensemen could all easily handle 27+ minutes per game (for a week at least) but good luck seeing GG deploy them like that.
