They Athletic literally doesn't have a Flames writer...they have nobody that closely follows the team.

There is a long way between could the Flames maybe regress and are the Flames 17 points worse this season...I will be on the lookout for somewhere that would let me place an over bet on 80 points for the Flames total. Obviously the Flames could have a worse season...they could also have a better season.

To say the absolute best case is 94 points is just dumb. They have a better roster than the one that started last season...I think you have to say there is at least a chance that ZP helps them on the PP and in 3 on 3. Like if he was a Leafs rookie the media would be going nuts about this kid.

Everyone is also assuming the trade Ras all for futures and don't add anything all year despite having mountains of cap space.

As for the Athletic in general...any site that says Sam Bennett is a top 10 worst contract and Nurse isn't doesn't have a ####ing clue lol
