The Flames are in a place where, if all the pieces come together, they could be a serious contender as soon as this coming season.
Not saying they will be a contender, just that there are a lot of factors that can create jumps good and bad.
It not inconceivable that the forwards, defence and goaltending could all be top 10 this coming season, which would probably make the Flames a "serious contender".
