As I said I think we saw pretty much everything go wrong last year ... so less wrong would put them firmly in the mix.

They don't need magic or for everything to go right.

Currently they're down Toffoli and have added young pieces replacing aging veterans.

I'm not a "love this team" or "they're a contender" guy at all, but I don't see that huge a shopping list for the Flames to be a playoff team.

Markstrom and Huberdeau back to their averages for 5 years almost does it alone. Add in upgrade to the third and fourth line through youth, and a smidge of one goal game puck luck and it's almost a given (caveat being moving assets before camp)
