Last year vs the past.
Tkachuk
off 15% vs the previous year
off 20% vs the previous two years
off 11% vs the previous three years
Gaudreau
up 5% vs the previous year
off 16% vs the previous two years
off 18% vs the previous three years
Monahan
off 22% vs the previous year
off 55% vs the previous two years
off 55% vs the previous three years
Giordano (won't be coming back to rebound)
off 11% vs the previous year
off 58% vs the previous two years
off 38% vs the previous three years
Others down included Derek Ryan, Lindholm to a smaller degree, Backlund (getting older).
Guys going the other way would be ...
Mangiapane
up 18% vs the previous year
up 33% vs the previous two years
Andersson
up 16% vs the previous year
up 26% vs the previous two years
With all that said though the team doesn't have to change the much to have more success. Really comes down to goaltending, as the Flames had the 21st best team save percentage 5 on 5, and 26th best when short handed.
Markstrom healthier ... would be a boost (unknown)
Sutter system ... would be a boost (more of a given, and helping out the point above)
