The best bet is to avoid teams with good goaltenders.

So I don't want the Wild, Sharks, or Oilers.

Crawford is good, but inconsistent and the Hawks depth isn't as good as the Flames.
Rinne/Saros are both mediocre
Allen is not good
Bernier/Gibson are just okay
Quick and Bishop are inconsistent and a big ? moving forward.

So, ideally the Flames would face Anaheim or Chicago for realistic teams in terms of goalie matchups.

Honestly, there are no likely easy matchup unless the Flames somehow win the division and face either STL or NSH in round 1.
