Call me crazy but I think the worst case would be hanging on to all of the UFAs... So far they have sold off 3 of 5 with a stated intention to not let any walk.

Imagine if Kuzmenko and Huberdeau click, and start producing at a point per game each, and the Flames make the playoffs - that would be wild, fun, and hilarious!
Also...
Kylington and Pachal, nice!

Bennett hardly played any centre in Calgary and then was put at centre on Huberdeau’s wing and all of a sudden became “an NHL centre”. Maybe that’s what Huberdeau needs in a centre, a guy who isn’t competent on the defensive side.

Also, I am a big fan of Sharangovich, and think he'll be fine at C, as he is a cerebral player, and is smart on the PK

2 years ago Huberdeau and Kadri were two of the best players in the league don't forget.

Flames have more talent than last week is the funny thing...in terms of scoring IMO
Kuzmenko is going to play better than Lindholm mailing it in likely
It's fair to say the team D will suffer though

That's a pretty long list of guys to debate. I don't see him anywhere near the worst.

This is huge for our PP, IMO.
The Flames love shots from the point, but no one on the team is good at tipping. We need a new Joe Nieuwendyk.

i’m pretty excited to see what Kuzmenko brings, you know he’s going to be motivated. I think he makes our offence more dynamic. Losing Lindholm certainly affects our PK, but with departure, comes opportunity.

Osterle isn't even that bad for a bottom pair guy...at least he can skate. It's odd on a .500 team is has become such a whipping boy around here.

Oesterle sucks. Worst of the bunch. That's all there is to say. I've seen better from the kids on the farm. Or DeSimone or Gilbert. Thankfully Shlliy is back and Oachal is here.

Worst of the bunch...so far. We are looking at a rebuild now. It could get a lot uglier before it gets better.

My biggest concern is the PK. Backlund and Lindholm start the Pk typically against the other team PP1.
5 on 5 Lindholm was not good this year and our PP sucks so it's very likely if that 1st lines clicks, we could actually get better...until we trade Tanev and Hanifin
