Our top 4 defenceman is signed for another year and one we were missing last year is coming back.
Backlund is still here until he isn’t.
We added Sharangovich and will see what Honzek and Coronato and Wolf do over the next couple years.
The Flames aren’t rebuilding. Does Lindholm give you a better shot at the playoffs? If the answer is yes, you sign him.

Well if Zadorov goes back to his career average and Rasmus goes back to his career average we will be down another 14 goals or so. Backlund and Coleman had career years last year for points and were both above their average for goals over the past 4 years. Kadri was slightly above his expected goals over 82 games last year.
A lot of heavy lifting for Mangiapane and Huberdeau, the two guys that were below they career averages to pick up in terms of goals lost from Toffoli and possible goals lost if Zadorov, Rasmus, Backlund and Coleman drop closer to their averages over the past 5 seasons.
