I predict the Flames will:
Get Hall but pay more than everyone thinks they should
Trade Gaudreau for a young player on an ELC that turns into a solid 3rd liner and a second
They re-sign Talbot to a 4x4 deal extending our goalie woes for the foreseeable future
Trade the first round pick for a #4 D
Overpay for a guy like Anderson in hopes he turns into a top 6 winger, he doesn't.
Keep Ward because they have no other options (top tier coaches aren't coming)
Mortgage more of the future at the deadline in hopes of just making it (cause "anything can happen" lol)
Miss the playoffs by 3 points and get #13 pick
