Step one "Make the Playoffs"...in the Pacific, that means, stealing into a top 3 spot...this seems doable for your guys, especially if a Cali team cycles downward...

As far as "contender"...all playoff teams are exactly ONE HOT GOALTENDER away from a Cup.

Inferior teams (relatively speaking) have ridden the "hot goalie" to the promised land before. Your Flames DON'T have to be "stacked", they just have to get to the sprint at the end.

Again, this seems doable for your guys.
