I think it could be the Flames. I think this will be one of the painful rebuild years, just don't really think much of the lineup and don't think the kids are seasoned enough yet. I can see the youthful enthusiasm of last season decreasing a bit and frustration setting in more. Whether that makes the Flames bad enough to get McDavid is anyone's guess, but I think they'll be in the running.
