[oldschoolcalgary]

Ferland breaks the 25 goal mark

Bennett also hits 20/20

[Jiri Hrdina]

Most of these bold predictions aren't bold enough....step up your game people.

- Eddie Lack takes over the #1 job in net by end of January, however falter in the first game of the playoffs. Mike Smith takes over the carries the team to a final four appearance
- Matthew Tkachuk avoids the sophmore slump and improves on his totals on a PPG basis, but is given a 10 game suspension for an extremely dirty hit
- Hunter Shinkaruk has a great start to the season in the AHL, is called up in January and scores 12 goals by the time the season ends
- Mark Jankowski is a finalist for the Calder
- Sam Bennett continues to not produce and is traded just before the Xmas roster freeze for a top line RWer and a 1st round pick

BOLD.

[Racki]

I have one bold prediction only.

Emile Poirier shocks everyone and works his way up the lineup and scores 15-18 goals this season. He even sees some time on the right wing with #13 and #23

Don Cherry dies on live tv
Troy Brouwer turns into a world class chef

these things would be so good.

[Enoch Root]

Parsons is lights-out in the E, moved up to the A, and gets a cup of coffee in the show by March.

One of Ferland or Foo goes north of 25 goals (probably Ferland)

Flames are top 8 in goals against, and finish the season above +25 on goal differential

Flames get more than 100 points AND the Oilers get less than 96

Poirier spends some time with the big club.

[Max Cow Disease]

The injury bug slams the team hard, with Smith, Johnny, Monny, Gio, Ferly, Hamonic, and even Gulutzan all losing not-insignificant chunks of time throughout the course of the season.

Burke conducts all public availabilities with a full windsor knot.

[codynw]

Eddie Lack steals the starter job by December.

[FusionX]

Parsons wins the Conn Smythe, out-dueling Matt Murray in the SCF and backstops us to our second Stanley Cup.

[N-E-B]

I'll say the Flames win the Pacific division. That seems both bold and realistic.

[GranteedEV]

The Flames make the playoffs.

[ComixZone]

1) Mark Giordano wins the Norris Trophy.

2) Sam Bennett scores 20G/20A for a 40P season - and plays the entire season as a centre. CP runs out of crow, and the impatient users finally begin to develop patience for player development.

3) Flames win in Anaheim on Monday, October 9th.

[The Fonz]

I'm seeing multiple 20/20 predictions for Sam Bennett. What makes that bold? He essentially did that in his rookie year (17/17 in 77GP).

[Macho0978]

Dougie Hamilton scores 60+ points

Bennett scores 50+ points

Flames win division - lose in 3rd round of playoffs

Brouwer scores 25 goals

Gaudreau scores 90+ points

[You Need a Thneed]

The Flames finish the regular season 50 points ahead of the Oilers.

[MisterJoji]

Bold: Ferland pots 30.
Bolder: Flames sweep Anaheim series.
Boldest: Gaudreau outscores McDavid.

I don't get this, are you actually hoping to lose?

[Samonadreau]

Bold: Sportsnet manages the season without a Dougie 'Freddie' Hamilton 3 star.
Bolder: Jagr jerseys hanging in FanAttic opening night.
Boldest: Free beer at the dome this season.
