But the Flames have guys like Mackey. As Sutter said, their D was butter-soft and they needed to change that. Zadorov changes that. Mackey doesn't.

Yeah, Treliving is in for one hell of a tough off season.
As if getting our two best wingers signed long term wasn't a hard enough task, especially since they are both Americans, but they both decide to have career seasons in their contract years. Then RFA Kylington decides to break out, and RFA Mangiapane also has a break out season.
Good problems to have I know, but as if that wasn't enough, he is somehow going to have to replace the Zadorov/Gudbranson bottom pairing at a fraction of the cost. Size, toughness, meanness and tons of experience at the NHL level. Pretty much an impossible task.
