I think the Flames are very overrated. I don't think they should be a lock for the playoffs, at all. I agree with Jiri that they could finish anywhere from 3-7. Markstrom alone could get them into the playoffs, but he needs help from a very underwhelming and inconsistent forward group.

I had them second because I overestimated the forwards, especially Tkachuk, and I overestimated Gio’s year. I also figured at least one of those depth UFAs would add something.
I also underestimated Montreal though they could still tumble IMO. Edmonton has gotten slightly better tending than I expected, allowing them to outscore the opposition in a few more games. I don’t want to say I underestimated Winnipeg because I have always thought they had good pieces. I just always have them underachieving in the back of my mind.
