Top line underperforms again (or doesn’t overperform depending how you look at it), Gio continues sliding, and Tanev isn’t a good Brodie replacement would put you guys fighting for a playoff spot.

Obviously i am biased but disagree. Flames have Andersson, Valimaki and Hanifin who are all young and could take big steps and adding Markstrom should help. The Flames have proven when things are good they are a top 2 team in the league and after a season chalked full of all kinds of adversity they still made the playoffs.
Obviously injuries can end any teams hopes but the Flames are one of the deepest teams in the division, have one of the best tandems in the league, and some young players that could take a significant step while having most of their key players in or entering their prime
