The Score had Flames 9th on this list pre-Kadri FWIW.

Have to feel we've elevated to Top 5. Plus, with the Huby/Weegs fleece I daresay Panthers are weaker right now, so maybe leapfrogged them...Avs slightly weaker minus Kadri and probable downgrade in goal, but still an obvious powerhouse and fav. Canes and Bolts remain elite. But would you not put Flames lineup on paper against nearly anyone...
