Most important is quite easily Markstrom. Doesn't matter if Huberdeau puts up 100 points, Andersson wins the Norris and Backlund is a Selkie nominee. It all goes down the toilet if Markstrom ####s the bed again. So I sure hope he has it in him to be at least a top 10 goalie again.
Afterwards is Huberdeau. Flames need a dynamic playmaking forward and he was a legit superstar before arriving here. Hopefully his troubles can be attributed to Sutter forcing a square peg into a round hole and he can have a bounce back season.
