Ward wins the CP bold prediction hands down.
I think the Flames have improved their G and D but secondary scoring and forward depth when Monahan gets key'd in on is going to be the Flames biggest obstacle. Johnny will provide some excitement but it is going to be quite awhile with the big 3 CA teams CHI, STL COL being locks on the playoffs. DAL and MIN can't count them out.
Even once the Flames become deep once again. How many of these teams are really going to slide anytime soon.
