The D corps is very solid.
Just average goaltending over the year would have put Calgary in the POs. Hell, two or three games with a little more luck do it. So with actual good goaltending, Huberdeau improved, Mangiapane having a better year, Calgary is where the pundits predicted this year.

Huberdeau- yes
Mangi- maybe
Markstrom- hell no. He lost to bottom dwellers down the stretch. His rebound was a mirage.
