Hanowski 11
Arnold 1
Gaudreau 1
Wotherspoon 14
Ortio 8
These were the last quarter of the season games where traditionally Bouwmeester and Stempniak played like crap and the Flames lost playoff spots.
The prospect ladden roster would definitely have a chance to make a playoff run and not be a bottom 4 club.
Setegouchi is the Stempniak replacement. A filler on a non-playoff team.
The Flames should reduce ticket prices this year as they are just marking time until next draft and the 2015-16 season

Correlation does not imply causation.
Too many factors come into play in the final games for it mean anything. For example the final game of the year was against the Canucks who essentially mailed it in for that game.
