We will score less and give up way less.

Who in the division other than Vegas is that much ahead of the Flames? I would argue the Flames are pretty much even with 3 or 4 teams fighting for 2nd and 3rd spots in the division.
I'm not willing to bet Seattle catches lightning in a bucket like Vegas did. They have more chance of being a bottom feeder than a contending team. Anaheim and San Jose should, for all intents and purposes, be terrible. So you're left with Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and maybe LA fighting for two play off spots. And I don't think Calgary loses to any of them, TBH.
Maybe it's the optimist in me once again, but I expect a Sutter led Flames team (even with no changes) getting second or third in the division.
