1. Calgary bottoms out in at least the
bottom 3 of the standings to get at chance of drafting HAGENS (projected 1st overall) or Michael Misa (considered top 5 in upcoming draft)
2. With
New Jersey’s 1st round pick 2025, hopefully Markstrom is so inconsistent that New Jersey will also fall into the early half the draft.
3. We might lose our
Florida 1st round pick to Montreal (because of the Sean Monahan trade), but hopefully Florida
finishes high enough in the standings to make it only a late 1st round pick given to Montreal.
4.
Trading out our pending UFAs at the deadline for plenty of picks and prospects (here’s my Pickpedia team for the 2024-25 trade deadline:
https://puckgm.puckpedia.com/rosters/12014 )
5. An audition at the end of the season for future Flames:
Parekh, Honzek, maybe Gridin, Morin and Poirier (if there are lots of injuries to the team)
Comment below your hopeful scenarios for the Flames in 2024-25.
