And his underlying micro stats, transition, and zone entry / exit stats are even more stellar.

He’s a top 20 dman in the league by pretty much any metric. Pay this man.
For me, he is the key.
Huberdeau is a replacement for Gaudreau, but Weegar is a D upgrade that the team needed to be a contender. Losing Tkachuk leaves a hole, but it is easier to replace a winger, good a player as he is.
I believe the Flames are a better team than last year and are favorites for the division. If they sign Kadri, I feel they are in the mix to win it all.

This is what I cheer for.
