Career years for Lindholm, Kadri and Huberdeau (replacing career years for Gaudreau and Tkachuk), Mangiapane
Zaradov, Hanifin, Andersson, Kylington, Tanev
along with 1 game missing (Coleman) from the top-6 forwards and 10 games missing from the top-4 d-men 1 from Hanifin and 9 from Kylington
9 players coming off career years and no significant injuries makes it hard to get back to 111 pts like last year.
If Tanev would have missed 20 regular season games how would that have impacted the Flames record in the standings?
As for the playoffs Kadri could be a difference, although as the Avs 4th best forward and 6 to 8th best player in the playoffs it might be a harder role for him with the Flames.
Weegar and Huberdeau have similar incomplete grades in the playoffs as Gaudreau and Tkachuk
I didn't vote in the poll as I am unsure how the whole team comes together.
