I've been debating this with my brother and we are both convinced the Flames will miss the playoffs. The only thing for me is, is that I think it's okay given the upheaval of the off-season and expecting things to click out of the gate.
The league is so tight one mediocre season from any of your top players can sink you. I also can't compare this roster to last year's either. It's not a fair comparison. That core had been together for 4 + seasons.
I'm okay if they miss this year, not because of Bedard or any such thing, just accepting of the fact that this is year one for this group.
