Coming into the offseason, each of the seven Pacific Division teams entered with questions, and attempted to find a direction for their respective hockey clubs.
The Flames for example came into the offseason looking to add strong players into the lineup in order to replicate, and improve on, last season's success. Other teams, such as San Jose or Vancouver, were looking for answers after disappointing ends to their seasons, and were attempting to create new or reformed directions for their hockey clubs.
It's well known these days that in order for a team to remain strong in the NHL, your team must continually get better.
