This is a list of the other Pacific Teams depth chart of the top-6 plus their top pairing defense from Cap Friendly. There are some "mistakes" or arguments as they have Dube ahead of Mangiapane on the Flames and I can only assume that other teams 5/6 and 2/3 dmen might be different.

Here is a little exercise. Put on rose colored glasses and imagine that these top 8 were traded to the Flames and you were hoping for the best version of them to show up this year.

Now try to see where the current top-8 on the Flames is that much better than the 8 for 8 swap.
