I'd say I'm always optimistic at the beginning of seasons, as I tend to hope for the best every season. You never know, sometimes things just click and the Flames go an a tear. I never saw Flames finishing 2nd overall a few years ago. Maybe this year, a Sutter led team makes it far in the playoffs. If it doesn't happen, there's always a next season.
Looking at the division this year, other than Vegas, Flames can finish anywhere from 2nd to 5th or 6th. Let the games begin!
