Unfortunately I think this team is going to be very bad for several years, especially on D.

With Hanifin likely leaving along with Tanev, that leaves the Flames with Andersson and Weegar as the only NHL-calibre D on the team. I know there's Kylington too, but the guy sat for nearly two years so there's only so much we can expect from him. The team will have to try and muddle along with mediocre free-agent vets signed to above-market contracts at least for a while and that's not a recipe for success.
