Last year, opening day roster had Bartkowski and Kulak in the top 7 defense.
We had Versteeg, Glass, Stajan, Freddie Hamilton, and Brower in the top 14.
These seven players offered little to the Flames.
They've been replaced by Valimaki, Trout, Ryan, Neal, Czarnik, Lindholm, Dube. I am not sure Prout has more to offer than Bartkowski, but the other six should offer much more.
I look forward to a more balanced team. Hopefully with better coaching, and hopefully with goaltending that will hold up.
