The thing with the Flames is if you were to fast forward and see the final standings and see the flames in 14th, you could understand how that could happen. If it showed them winning the division, you could also see how that could happen.
The problem with the flames is that there are way way way too many question marks on the roster. Usually that settles down towards a lower finish that what most fans might expect, but there are enough good piece where they could surprise lots of people.
Pessimistically, I think the Flames could finish 14th, optimistically, I could see them making the playoffs. Just depends on what versions of the key players show up this season.
