My worries are:
1) Coaching - I’m not 100% sold on Peters as HC here.
2) Goaltending - if Smith picks up where he left off last season, the Flames are in trouble.
3) Toughness - last year Smith was getting run, Brodie gets steamrolled and no one really did anything. The team is fairly small and there are some meathead teams in the division like Edmonton and Anaheim. Worries me that there isn’t anyone to keep people from going after guys like Johnny or running the goalies, etc.
