Hot takes/Bold predictions mid Summer 2023

Now that is a hot take. It'd be better if he dumped Lindholm, Hanifin, and Backlund regardless of the return and that would show he is a hard ass that belongs?

This will be the year injuries decimate the Flames lineup, causing them to be unable to trade the injured upcoming UFAs at the deadline.

That would be the maximum curse outcome, so that is likely what shall come to pass

With Ryan van Asten out, it's possible this can happen.

[DiracSpike]

That a thread on the 2024 entry draft will form on this site by early November and it will be 500+pages of heated discussion by the time June rolls around.

[Samonadreau]

Just rename the thread Bold predictions instead of Hot takes.

[The Original FFIV]

NHL implements a summer trade/signing freeze for a period of time that will allow bored hockey fans to move on with their summer instead of constantly checking back for updates on potential moves.

Won't happen, but it should.

Do you want reasonable debate or hot takes? Pick your threads accordingly.

Some how over the next 5yrs, the Flames find a way to make the fanbase hate Iggy and Conroy.

Am I doing this right?

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[DoubleK]

Not much of a hot take here, but the Flames running it back with the same roster feels like returning to the scene of the crime, except this crop of pending UFAs has said they won't re-sign.

Hot Take: You Can't Touch a Flame When it's Red Hot.

[gvitaly]

Hot takes:
The Flames will have the best 4th line in the league. (Ruzicka/Pelletier - Jones - Duehr)
The Flames get a new top line of: Huberdeau - Kadri - Lindholm and they're dominant.
Gilbert becomes a mainstay in the top 6 D, and a fan favorite.

[calumniate]

Calgary flames - hottest team in the league!

I'm not sure about the naming discussion, I don't know the difference between hot predictions or bold takes or just dumb theories

But mine;

-Poirier makes the team out of camp

[taxbuster]

McAvi finds a D and wins the Selke. CP melts down.

(Yah...that won't happen...)

[ThisIsAnOutrage]

Flames are in the first wildcard spot at the trade deadline. To bolster their chances at a deep playoff run they bring in two tjree-time Stanley Cup champions: Phil Kessel and Pat Maroon.

A hot take is about the present or the past.

A bold prediction is about the future.
