It is going to be a long season. Gio or Brodie go down this team is in the dumps just like last year. I would love to get a top 3 pick this draft it will certainly speed up the rebuild adding an elite Center prospect or stud Dman.
I do not want this team to tank however. If anything keep on plugging away like they are showing a ton of heart and effort even when they are down early. If the goaltending holds up then this team is playing meaningful games past the holidays and makes the season itself more entertaining. I feel that in less than 2 years the Flames have past the Oilers who claim to be rebuilding for nearly 5 years. Having a true top D pair helps but it is the coaching, culture, and compete that puts the flames far ahead of edmonton.
