I think Florida makes it without any moves but I see no chance they shift to sell mode.

2015 Flames are not the best comparable. They were not double digit points ahead of the team chasing them. That Flames team was in year 2 of a rebuild so that entire season was found money.

This Florida team is in year 2 with a super expensive coach and their franchise player and captain has one more year before he is a UFA. They desire to win now should be much larger in Florida and for this franchise a first round appearance would be a great success story considering they have so rarely done so over their history.
