Pacific Division banner for sure. I personally wouldn't do a western conference regular season banner. The Preds were mocked for that, and I think rightly so.
I think you should put up a max of two banners per year -- for best regular season accomplishment and best playoff accomplishment.
So, you win the President's Trophy -- put up a banner for that, but skip the division banner. Obviously you won the division that year too, but the President's Trophy is a bigger/better accomplishment. Same if you win the Stanley Cup -- put up the banner for that and skip the "Conference Champions" banner.
"Regular season conference champions" is just dumb in general. Like that Nashville photo, they put up three banners for the same thing.

I’d rather have one banner for the Pacific Division where you add the years to it, rather than a banner for each year. To be honest I’d do that with any accomplishment that isn’t a Cup.
Of course I’m also against retiring numbers, I actually prefer the concept of Forever a Flame

Pacific division is a lesser achievement than the western conference. They shouldn’t do either.
I think in a scenario like Calgary who doesn't have a ton of banners it's alright -- but if Calgary racked up a bunch of banners in the next decade and space becomes a factor, you know which ones are getting cut.

I think you go to 3.
Stanley Cup always gets its own banner.
You can do another banner for Regulars season team trophies and another one for other playoff team trophies.
The Smythe Division banners for 86 and 89 are for winning the Division in the playoffs. It was after the league switched to the 1-8 Conference seeding in the playoffs that the Division banners are for the regular season.

Having the best record of all 15 teams in the Western Conference is a very big deal IMO and worthy of celebration. But you don't put up a banner for it.
President's Trophy? Yes absolutely.
Division champs? - I guess so but only because we don't have a lot of banners.
Conference champs from playoffs - Yes for sure.
I don’t like talking about this until it’s mathematically clinched
Are you serious? The Flames have a 99% chance of winning the Division. That means that if the final week of the season were replayed 100-times the Flames would fail to win the Divion only once.
It’s done.

All 9 remaining games for the Flames and Sharks combined would have to transpire in one particular way for the Sharks to steal the division. Ain't happening. And I think the door closes tonight.
