Expectations here on CP were too high for this roster. This is currently a team that rides the fence on playoffs or no playoffs. Whether this changes in the next couple seasons depends of course largely on the progression of the core which is highly promising but patience is needed. What is really really missing from this roster is a solid #1 goaltender in his mid to late twenties. If the Flames don't find that person - this team is not going to progress as hoped.
