The Flames are not dialed in at this point, you can see it in the lack of focus on details (face offs, zone coverage).
They have the 5th worst PDO in the league right now, and are very likely to turn it around.
I don't love the way they're playing shift to shift, but it's early ... way more important to get the lines and the play set by March this year in my mind. Don't really care how the regular season goes as long as they get a spot.

It's certainly concerning that the top 6 now consists of Quine and Bennett. Two guys who would certainly be in very few, if any, playoff teams top 6 for an extended period. The depth is an issue that could limit the Flames potential to just get in. I'm hopefully it sorts itself out soon, but I don't see any easy answers unless Dube or Mangiapane suddenly take one of those spots and run with it.
