Would not mind some type of retool on the backend.

That's not really how the defence is built, however. Giordano is a rock, but outside of that (and including him) the defence that Calgary built is mobile with a bunch of puck movers who can transition quickly.
They (imo) are just not playing to that strength. I would have had them pegged for close to top 10 in goals against simply due to how mobile they are and getting the puck out of their own zone quickly, but would be competing with Nashville for the most point production from the back-end.
