With Sekera out, their defence is pretty much a house of cards. One injury and you'll really see them struggle. Maybe even without one.

They've loaded and loaded up on the front end over the years (and it still isn't that impressive), while trying to pass off middle of the road d-men signings to fill their top 4 and play above what they should be. So when the inevitable injuries hit, and they have AHL quality d-men playing regular shifts because they don't have any depth, they'll understand why Calgary continued to pushed over the past couple seasons to fill their top 5 the way they have, and just how important that is to winning.

You can't skip a legitimate top pairing and d depth on the way to contending. At some point, that fact is going to hit them in the side of the head like a rock. They are not nearly as close as they believe they are. And I personally find it amusing.
