Of all the hockey insiders, analysts, podcasters, broadcasters I happened to listen to had the Flames in the playoffs, aside from Kyperos. I think most of the Flames roster underperformed; Anderson, Monahan, Gaudreau, Markstrom, Valamaki, Dube, Tkachuk, Backlund.

I am expecting changes this summer, but I’m also expecting bounce back seasons from several of these players in what should be a season that is much closer to a normal one.

As far as the current state of the roster, how many players has the organization graduated over the past 7 years? Compare that to the previous 7. They’re a better run organization today, no question.

Let say we discount this last year

Do you seriously think this team can win a playoff round? Especially without Bennett now?
