Next year I think the Flames make a push for a playoff spot. Maybe they fall short, but I'm confident they take a step in the right direction.
The season after is where things get interesting, as most of the dead weight is off the roster, and Bennett will be starting his 3rd full NHL season.
Gaudreau - Monahan - ????????
????????? - Bennett - ????????
Colborne - Backlund - Frolik
L Bouma - M Stajan - ????????
Giordano - Hamilton
Jokipakka - Brodie

Ortio
Will be interesting to see who BT fills the blanks in with over the next two off seasons and one regular season.
Several spots will likely be filled internally, starting hopefully with the upcoming 2016 1st round draft pick.
