Markstrom and Andersson with really down seasons.
Monahan with a total write-off of a season.
Tkachuk with a terrible season.
Free agent signings (Leivo, Simon and Nordstrom) as complete failures and almost zero value.
IMO, the chances that the Flames are better this year is VERY high. And that doesn't even account for the fact that they him improved the team, and made it bigger, faster and nastier.
And then there is full season of Sutter.
IMO, the Flames will be significantly better than last year, and are easily a playoff team.
