I find it hard to predict what the Flames will do next season.
They have a lot of players who are total wild cards, and will also have cap space to utilize for maybe some show me contracts.
Is Kuzmenko a 40 goal 70 point player next year who vaults the Flames PP up the rankings?
Does Huberdeau continue with his 60-70 point pace from the last half?
How much drop off do we see from Sharangovich, Coleman, Weegar after career years?
Do Miromanov and Kylington have another gear as top 4 Dmen?
How much will Coronato, Zary, Pospisil and Pelletier grow?
How will Vladar be when he's finally healthy?
Wolf has elite abilities, will they translate?
What if they sign a guy like Duclair and he scores 30 with Huby again?
Mangiapane is another guy capable of scoring 20-30+ goals too, does he bounce back in a contract year?
This roster isn't devoid of talent. They seem to play well under Huska too, and they seemed to get better all year with his system up until the roster was gutted, and they kind of built back up again as they went on.
