Postives

1. Lots of guys on expiring deals who will be playing for the next deal.
2. Markstrom cant be worse then he was last year (IMO sole reason why we missed)
3. Full year to get acclimated for the new players so they should be better as well.

Negatives

1. No Sutter - No secret that I think it was a mistake letting him go.
2. UFAs - Its shown that if the Flames are close they wont move pending UFAs and that is scary.
3. Potential 3 headed monster in net and thin blue line if Hanifin gets moved.
