After the trade deadline, they were 7-13-0, good for 29th in the league. And that was with Markstrom. Yes, they will be a bottom 10 team this year, maybe bottom 5.

Markstrom was terrible after the deadline - Wolf and Vladar were both considerably better. The Flames won’t get as good goaltending next season as they got from Markstrom in the first two-thirds of the season, but they’ll probably get better goaltending they got at the tail end.
