I'm not suggesting that Columbus will be the Bruins next year but being better than the 16th overall Flames isn't that unrealistic. Part of my post was the Flames could slip with some of the turmoil with the team.

Columbus had 81 points last year and added Gaudreau. Injuries have been a huge part of why they suck. So being healthier and adding Bedard, it's very possible they put up 90-95 next year. Are we saying the Flames are a lock to be 95+ next year?

Yes
