Normal statistical variability
I also don’t know if I agree that an unusual amount of the group has regressed
Some guys are having better years. Some worse.
Overall seems normal to me
There seems to be a notion that the Flames are unusually inconsistent yet I hear the complaints across most fan bases
Maybe they are just rather typical

Monahan, Gaudreau, Ferland, Tkachuk, Hamilton, Kulak, Hathaway are all better this year IMO. Backlund, Frolik, Stone and Gio are the same. Brodie is actually on pace for more points, but IMO hasn't looked great defensively and may be backsliding in that area. Bennett is too inconsistent to compare - his first half was wrose but his second half is better. Stajan is worse, Brouwer is an odd example - he is looking better this year IMO but the points aren't really there.
