I can't see another roster as weak as ours right now. We have too many guys that are a couple years away from being front line players and that will contribute to wins right now. Bartschi, Brodie, Knight, Monahan and Reinhart will all be pretty good in two years. Add in possibilities of Sieloff, Ramage and Wotherspoon on the backend, and then Gaudreau, Agostini, Jankowski, Granlund, Gillies, Poirier and Klimchuk in another couple of years and the future is looking pretty good. The next two seasons will be abysmal and we should be bottom of the league and the favorite to finish dead last, but there are always surprises here and there. I would take the bet. Odds are the Flames will find a way to finish 28th or 29th, as someone tanks better, and make you $100.
