Imagine if any of the following happen throughout the rest of the season and throughout the remainder of the Flames contention window:
1. Neal re-discovers his game/scoring touch
2. Bennett adds offense to his arsenal
3. Jankowski turns into anything between Backlund 'Lite' to Backlund 'Heavy'
4. The crop of 4 strong young Dmen develop into legit top 4, or even top pairing quality Dmen
5. The Flames discover/develop at worst a goalie capable of putting up league average numbers, or at best Vezina quality numbers.
They don't have any of that right now, and are already on the cusp of contending.
