What was their great Flames prediction last season? (I checked, 79 points) 80 is low, if anyway wants to offer me that I will take the over.
This is the same writer that doesn't have Nurse in the top 10 worst contracts in the league, guy is Canadian and loves the Oilers. Bottles the mind anyone pays to read this crap.

I don’t know, I think it’s a little misguided to say the Athletic doesn’t know anything about the Flames.
They talk to several scouts, coaches, league executives.
I think it is a fairly unbiased view. Is there any other ‘reputable’ source, in your opinion, who is saying anything all that much different? Seems like the common consensus, even on this fan forum, is that the Flames exceeded expectations last year and are coming back with largely the same group.
