The Flames haven't made their hay against weak teams. Actually only LA and Anaheim have done worse against the Pacific Division.

Determining the strength of a division is based on the larger sample size of all games played.
It's likely just coincidental that Calgary has a very good record vs. the stronger Atlantic division.
Unless there is some suggestion that if Calgary was in the Atlantic division they'd be cleaning up?
I have little doubt that if Calgary had more games against better teams that their record would be worse. They give up quite a few more goals than they score (-17), so this has been very much a below average team this year.
