I can't think that anyone who has SJ slotted ahead of the Flames is actually serious. The Sharks are a steadily aging team that really started to show it last season, and I don't see where there will be any improvement this year.
They will finish better than the Canucks, and the Oilers and Coyotes by a massive margin, but will be very hard pressed to make the playoffs this year ahead of one of Anaheim, LA, or Calgary.
