which in my mind shouldn't put us anywhere near the top of this list.
That said at least the flames have upgraded something unlike the coilers who are just taking steps backwards...

Ridiculous. With a fairly anemic offence in 2017–18 the Flames managed to stay in the playoff hunt with Smith and Rittich in goal. With a significantly improved group of forwards and a new coaching staff that includes a powerplay specialist there is no good reason why the Flames should not finish in at least a wildcard spot and challenging for the Division.
