Seems fair to me. And remember they have 2x 2nds next year anyway (well, not anymore). Seems rational to upgrade their top 6. After their moves this offseason- they’re going to be better and challenge the likes of Toronto. They are arguably only slightly worse than Calgary actually. Yes I know this won’t be popular here but watch and just keep in mind the last time I made a prediction that everyone mocked before a season I was correct. They may finish only one spot behind Calgary if not ahead. Recall they’re bringing in a couple stud rookies and other very high quality prospects too......

You want to put your money where your mouth is on the Sens finishing above Calgary? I don't think its a Flames homer thing at all...nobody is picking the Sens to be in the top 4. They were the worst team in Canada last season and haven't improved that much.
This seems like one of those hot takes to get a rise out of people...
By all means they can finish ahead of Vancouver and Edmonton though
