I think you're fooling yourself if you don't see the gaping hole on the blueline with Zadorov gone.
He wasn't a top pairing defenseman, he wasn't a middle pair defenseman but he was always knocking on that door.
The Flames defense has gone from
2 2 3 3 5 7
to
2 2 3 3 7 8

The last two games were FAR from their worst defensive performances of the season. Both against divisional playoff teams.
two of the lowest shots against games of the season.
Edmonton, Detroit, Ottawa, ect. were FAR worse games defensively
I don't think there will be a huge difference...if you like we can compare stats after 20 games without Zadorov to the first 20 games, bigger sample size. I don't see the goals against changing much, actually I predict it goes down.
Vancouver's goals were mostly bounces and the first one was one the goalie should have had
