By any metric the Flames benefited by avoiding any significant injuries last season.
Anaheim had 18.92M of cap missing games through injuries last season
Vancouver 12.87
Arizona 12.43
Vegas 8.51
Edmonton 8.25
La 7.8
Calgary 6.17
San Jose 5.46
of the Flames injuries:
Stone accounted for just over 2M (49 games)
Neal 1.4M (19 games)
Frolik .8 (15 games)

The Flames already have passed their last year's impact with losing Valimaki that might have been a top 4 d-man if Brodie got traded.
