I tend to be pessimistic towards the Flames since they've only made the playoffs once since 2009. But with such a big upgrade in goaltending, I don't think regression is very likely.
If I'm not mistaken, the 2017 draft will have more WHL players at the top end. I'm looking forward to that, because that makes watching the Hitmen games more interesting. And it's always nice when the hometown guys do well.
