That's easy to say but that's still a monumental change that the Flames haven't undertaken in the cap era. I think even in 2013 they didn't tear the D down to the studs like that. They still had veteran stop gaps in those spots. It's still jarring to see on paper.
Maybe it's knowing this team so well, that it's hard to believe the tear down of this magnitude is really going to happen until we see it. But seeing as they haven't got Hanifin inked, it's all but a formality at this point.
