The absolute best case scenario would be for Huberdeau to score 100+ points while the Flames finish in the bottom 5 of the league. I think this would make his contract movable, which would be a huge win for the organization.

A more realistic scenario is probably having Zary, Pospisil, and Coronato keep progressing, cementing their spots in the top 9. If we get 1-2 top 4D developed this season along with a 1G it would be great, but I think it will be a tough season, both for our goalies and our defense. Everyone is playing higher in the lineup than they should be this year, which is fun, but can also be very frustrating for the players.
I think we'll actually have a pretty good PP this year, but we'll take a big step back on the PK without Tanev and Hanifin.
