I think the Flames may be harder team to beat in the playoffs with these changes but I see a team that will probably not have as good a regular season. Last night's game meant nothing but it did show that it's going to take some time to get to the point where all lines are rolling and the powerplay going. Gaudreau was the offensive driver of this team and it's going to take some time to adjust. Goal scoring is not likely to come as easy for this edition but as long as they remain one of the stingier teams in the league it shouldn't be a big issue that keeps them out of the running for opening the playoffs on home ice.
