I'm certain that we will not be like the Canadiens, and turn it around in one year, because lets face it , this team sincerely does suck, but next season we might be a 9th place team again, depending on off-season moves and how our prospects turn out. Which is nice and kinda sucks at the same time.

Highly unlikely that all 3 picks play next year. Probably one, and possibly none, but 3? No way.
The D is still going to be fairly weak, and goaltending is a huge question mark.
I would say that it would be borderline miraculous if we finished 9th, especially when you consider our division: LA, Ana and to a lesser extent, SJ and Van are all teams that the current Flames have trouble with.
If we are not 29th or 30th, I'll be shocked.
