I don't think the Flames solve their goaltending issues. Sure they may Bring someone in with some experience but I don't see any of the vet goalies that maybe available, being the answer.

Reimer or Ward are not the answer.

If Raanta, Andersson or another lesser known commodity, or if Ortio is re-upped and plays lights out in camp, then it's possible.

But this team has a few holes that will need to be filled and if they bring up some new guys to rou D out the D, then it's possible.

If we are looking at a Ramo and Wideman being huge minute eaters, than no, I don't think they make the dance.

I'm OK with no playoffs next year. But I think next year is the last possible year to miss the playoffs before it becomes unacceptable.
