Last year’s Sutter team? Give me a break.

Flames had an amazing season but it's unclear if that was actually sustainable.
A lot went right for the team last season, including for our top line.
They had a 12.4% on ice shooting percentage together, and a 105% PDO. There was going to be regression in their stats anyways.
Gaudreau wasn't likely to repeat that 115 point performance IMO - it was a 15% improvement over his previous career best.
This team had a great first season under Peters too, then were back down to earth the next year.
I don't know if this was truly a consistent 110 point team like a Colorado or a Tampa, or if they would have reverted back to a 95-100 point team that's battling for a playoff spot.
Honestly I think it was the latter.
