Yeah, who else would the Flames be competing with for the #3 slot? This is, of course, based on the massive assumption that the Oilers could finish next season in the top two.
Vancouver? They were worse than the Flames this past year.
LA? SJ? Anaheim? All three of the California teams are awful, and even with some improvement will still be languishing in the bottom-seven or eight Leaguewide.
Arizona? I have my doubts.
I think it is highly probable that the Flames will make the playoffs in 2022.
