At a minimum, the idea should be to retain 2nd place and rest everyone. Obviously Monahan has been injured for awhile, Bennett as well and who knows what other secret injuries are in play. Lets get all these AHL players some time and see who can potentially help the Flames in round 1. I remember that Ferland and Bennett were big a surprises a few years ago, lets see who can be the surprise performers this year.

Unless the Flames really crap the bed they third is not really in play. It's only first or second.
