Last year's standings:
7) Minnesota 98
8) Dallas 91
9) Phoenix 89
10) Nashville 88
Minny, Dallas, and Nashville all improved. I would argue that Dallas and Nashville will be
significantly better than last year. So making the playoffs will take at least 95 points this year, IMO.
The Flames over-achieved last year and managed 77 points. In order to make the playoffs, they are going to need to
improve by something like 18 points, and quite possibly more - despite the fact that almost every team in the conference improved over the summer.
If anyone can provide valid reasons why the Flames might improve by 18-20 points, I would love to hear them.
