I'm not sure how Calgary got voted to finish second worst in this.
I think a lot of it is wishful thinking honestly. The Flames have two decent goalies, a good defence group with an above average top pairing, and a young, gritty forward group that has potential to break out this season. Plus Hartley is a great coach. I'm not calling them a playoff team just yet, but on paper, there are about 5 or 6 teams that are clearly worse than Calgary this year.
