We will finally draft in the top 3 next year! ... with Vegas's pick.

Our pick will be in the mid 20s.

I think if the Flames make the playoffs it is basically going to come down to how the young guys play. Can Wolf, Coronato, Zary, Parekh take some big steps? Can Bahl, Frost, Farabee, Sharangovich all play at or above their cap hits?

Obviously there cannot be a massive fall off from Kadri, Weegar, Huberdeau. I think Coleman and Backlund could regress in points but their roles will still be important.

That’s what I think, we might miss because of regression of some of the vets but that the young guys really start to shine.

Glad you edited Huberdeau’s total from 69 to 65 as I was ready to point out it being mathematically impossible with Yegor’s 35 goal and Weegar’s 40 assist leading marks.
