I actually don't think we will see much difference from Mangiapane, Markstrom or Kadri next season. Last year I think they performed at the level I would expect from each of them.
Kylington a wild card because it would depend on what you consider a redemption arc. If he comes back and is an ok-ish player like he was before is that a redemption story because he didn't play at all? Technically it would be the biggest improvement going from nothing to meh but to me that doesn't really mean much.

I know being overtly negative is your schtick, but wow.
Huberdeau will never be the player he was for 4 seasons prior to joining the Flames? With a new coach/system?
Kadri and Markstrom both showed they have better play in them, Kadri to start last season, Markstrom down the stretch. But ya, let's assume we will only see the worst of their game going forward.
Mangiapane sure, he's probably a 45-50 point guy. Nothing wrong with that from a middle-6 player. He doesn't need a redemption arc.
"OK-ish" Kylington that was 56th in scoring by defenseman? That played hard defensive match-ups with Tanev and still managed a 55% Fenwick and Corsi rating? Ya, that's just meh, doesn't mean anything.
Just a terrible take when you combine it all together. Being pessimistic is fine, you just seem to love crapping all over anything Flames.
Markstrom with the biggest redemption arc as Wolf challenges him for the starting spot.
