The Flames have a decent enough roster minus the star power. Especially if they sign another top 4 Dman in free agency and/or another top 6 center. I don't know if they'll even try to do that or not, but if they did they certainly don't look like a bottom feeder to me.
They also have a lot of young players who may improve and a goalie that could be a difference maker in Wolf. I stress that he could be, it might take time.

It really matters what they do with the d-core and in net.
If they trade Markstrom and don't bring in any legit top 4 D, they're going to be bottom 10 forsure, potentially bottom 5.
Every team has a few good vets. Anaheim bottomed out with Getzlaf, Lindholm, Fowler, Henrique, Gibson (used to be good) and Rakell for example.
Not having star power in your prime and a full roster constructed well will put you in the bottom.
