Went with Johnny Gaudreau.
All the questions on whether he would eventually sign... then the endless questions about his size, and stating the competition he's excelled against can't be compared to the NHL and that his game won't translate. As a flames fan, who watched nothing of the kid before he got here, there was just blind, wishful hope that he defy the odds.
So him having the kind of season he is having was a fantasy all flames fans have thought about so it's not as shocking as the others (gio leading the league in points from a dman, brodie's a league +/- leader, Jooris having the impact he has had) but is in my opinion the single individual acheivement that puts the biggest smile on my face about this year's flames.
