I think 3rd in the division is possible, or a wildcard spot.

Yeah, a bunch of players had career years that they are unlikely to replicate and the two best players are leaving.
It's more likely that this team finishes 17-20th in the league which is virtually the worst situation the team could find itself in.
Either the Flames are mediocre for 2-3 years and are dragged into a rebuild, or they can start it now and trade some of these core pieces after many of them just had career years.
We talk all the time on this forum about not trading Iginla earlier... are we going to let it happen with this iteration of the Flames?
