Yep - Glencross was a good pickup for the Flames. I have a hard time believing that we've seen the Oilers potential yet. If you look at what they did at the end of last season with all of the injuries they had, then they seem to have a lot of potential this year. Especially since they dropped some guys that had been dead weight for the last couple seasons (Stoll et. al.). I agree that they look pretty soft so far but the NHL has plenty of good teams that aren't super tough.
The truth is the NW is an absolute crap-shoot this year. I wouldn't count any of the teams out of winning the division.
