We don’t have the top end talent like that team but our defense is miles better than Commodore, Montador, and Brennan Evans.
If those loaded rosters were so much better than ours, why did they also only barely qualify for the playoffs?

This year's roster is better, including the top 5 defensemen. Defensive depth is a concern though.
Commodore, Montador and Brennan were 7, 8 and 9 on the depth chart.
Right now the Flames top 5 is great (well... on paper, not in results!), but then we see Stone, Mackey and Gilbert as 6, 7 and 8. The Flames are two blueline injuries away from having Stone, Mackey and Gilbert as 4, 5 and 6. That's kinda scary... really scary actually.
