Stanley Cup comes after they relocate, so ya, I'm cool with that.

1. Mark Giordano wins the James Norris Trophy after scoring 25+ goals.

2. The Calgary Flames will acquire one of Carey Price or Sergei Brobovsky by mid-December.

3. Mark Stone finishes the season as a Tampa Bay Lightning

4. Matt Duchene finishes the season as a San Jose Shark

5. Artemi Panarin finishes the season as a Vegas Golden Knight

[RyZ]

-Janko - Bennett out produce Ryan - Dube and become the teams defacto "3rd line" before Christmas.

-Flames goal tending flounders and they are forced to go shopping at some point.

-5 teams from the Pacific make the playoffs.

More outlandish predictions:

-It is discovered that Melinda Karlsson was actually being harassed online by Eugene Melnyk. Melnyk makes a lot of "foot in mouth" comments on his way out the door. Sens fans rejoice but they feel really bad about it.

-Connor McDavid demands a trade. Chia trades him to New Jersey in a one for one deal for Will Butcher.

Dark. I like it.

As they do every 15 years, the Flames will go the Final. This time defeating the Lightning in 6 games. Tkachuk will win the Conn Smythe.

Early in the new year, the Flames and the City of Calgary will announce a deal to build a new arena, which will play host to the Olympic hockey tournament in 2026 (which Calgary will win by acclamation after all other bidding cities drop out by the end of January).

Go big or go home.

[The Yen Man]

My bold prediction: Sam Bennett will score 30 goals and win the Lady Byng.

Serious about the first one, not so about the second one.

[Imported_Aussie]

Smith gets injured, Gillies steals the net from Rittich on his callup, ends up splitting the net with Smith the rest of the year.
Czarnik scores 25 goals, bumping Frolik to the 4th line.
Neal has a pedestrian (by his standard) regular season, but then scores 17 goals in 23 playoff games as the Flames win the cup, knocking off Vegas, San Jose, Winnipeg and eventually the surprising Flyers in the final.
During the cup final, Gritty steals Harvey the Hound's tongue

[TheRealPepman]

Mikael Backlund wins Selke
