Colorado and Dallas certainly improved more than the Flames in the off season. Vegas likely did so as well. Chicago should improve with Lehner joining the team. Vancouver took some steps in the right direction towards moving up the standings this season. Luckily for the Flames the Pacific should be a pretty weak division and the battle in the Pacific will be for 2nd and 3rd with the Flames, Oilers, Sharks and Canucks fighting for those two spots. The Wild Card spots should be easily picked up by teams from the Central.
