The Flames will make the playoffs, IMO, if they can get through the next 2 weeks in the same conference position they currently hold.
Their speed, hockey IQ, the energy and surprising skillsets from their youth , and top players playing to a very high level are my substantiating reasons.
In saying that, I do not believe they are close to being a contender.
The Flames have drafted well and developed their young players equally well over the last 5 seasons, with minimal exceptions.
Probably need to draft a couple of young stud D over the next couple of years but all in all...things look good.
