It was marginally better, not far better. The Flames had one of the worst groups of bottom-6 forwards in the NHL, if not the worst. The defence was overrated because people were expecting career-peak Brodie and Hamonic, rather than previous season Brodie and Hamonic. And the backup goaltending position was one of the worst in the league, which shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone who watched Eddie Lack play the last couple seasons.
