Almost the same team with way worse goaltending had 93 points last year. Coaching matters.

Obviously it does. The Flames made an intentional choice to downgrade their coaching to change the culture. But Sutter was drawing water from a stone with the roster he had. It's crazy that if Markstrom didn't have the yips, probably would won the division last season.
But at least now, management can see the writing on the wall, and no this team is not salvageable, and they have to make moves that builds this team into being a contender down the road. There's no "make the playoffs and anything can happe"n with this roster. It can't even make the playoffs.
