Some interesting insights. Projecting the Flames to fall off from last year with an 80 point season, good for 24th overall. Best case scenario, 94 points and worst case 69.
Particular point of interest is an unnamed NHL executive saying (paraphrasing) that Wolf is almost a problem for the Flames because he makes them look more competitive than they actually are, similar to Price for the Habs and Lundquist for the Rangers.
I don’t think I would ever choose to cheer for the Flames to lose but if they get off to a terrible start, trade Anderson and Kadri/Coleman, I won’t be caught complaining. |
If they can get off to a slow start and sell, I think it will be the only year they need to get a top pick. I feel this team is set up on the Wing, D and in net and had tons of depth in the organization. Just need that franchise center.
