I think we finish 2nd in the pacific. I think Trelivng will make an impressive move this summer where the Flames upgrade a top 6 winger and good 3-5 Dman. They have cap space and several draft picks and prospects that are expendable.
I think the Culture of this team is firmly in place. Johnny has taken big steps every year of his life so I don't see a sophomore slump with him at all. Monahan is a special player I think he continues to at least duplicate last year. I would love to see the Flames add a solid RW to take Hudlers spot on that line. If they could get Patrick Sharp or sign Justin Williams to a 1-2 year deal would be nice fits.
Then Hudler can play on Bennetts wing and provide the same mentor ship he did with Monahan and Gaudreau this past year. It also solidifies the Flames with 2 solid scoring lines.
