Without markstrom or Vladar it's possible.

Wolf replacing Vladar may actually make the Flames better.

Even without Marky won’t make thevFlames as bad as Chicago/SJ, much less make up the huge deficit.

Especially if they trade Hanifin and Tanev. I don't think they can get to a bottom three finish but I think they can get to a bottom 5 finish

I think 6th is likely the floor we can reach. Only 7 points between us and Colombus but with how bad they are I don't think we can make up that difference even if we ship out all of the guys we should- Hanifin, Tanev, Lindholm- and even some extras we might not expect.

But 6th would give us a chance to have a pick of many different quality players and should be the goal versus sticking around 9-11th.

How the **** is this a thing? Glitch again? Is this dude really here trying to log in every day until a glitch allows him to bypass a lifetime suspension?

I think without Markstrom they could get to 5. Look at that game against Chicago, the only reason they won is because he stood on his head. It was ugly and then add in the extra bad of having Oesterle playing top 4 minutes.

There is no glitch, why are you trying to make it out as some sort of weird situation when it is clear that I just wait for my suspension to end and post when it is over?

Why would I waste time trying to log in each day that makes no sense.

I agree we can be bad, I just don't trust Colombus to be "good" enough to make up the point difference even if we are terrible.

Celebrini is not gonna happen for the Flames. But there are still some intriguing options after the top 4-5. Dickinson and Levshunov are likely future #1 d-men. Lindstrom and Silayev are beasts. Helenius, Catton, Buium, Parekh, etc. What's not the like? Conroy needs to get as many first and second round picks as he can to try to get as many picks into that top 15, IMO.

Without Markstrom yes, Vladar probably helps the goal.

"LIFETIME SUSPENSION " is some kind of custom user title for an active poster.

So which mod is Spurs and how often have you forgotten to switch accounts before posting!

It's getting close though. We currently have:

- 1.9% chance at WC1
- 5.5% chance at WC2
- 3% chance to win the lottery

If we actually make the playoffs, we have:

- 2.8% chance at winning Rd. 1
- 1% chance at winning Rd. 2
- 0.5% chance at winning Rd. 3
- 0.2% chance at winning the Cup

All things considered (including who's available at #1), this would be a pretty good season to sell as much of the team as possible at the deadline, and then dress the Wranglers the rest of the way.


(Although, truth be told, if we land in WC2 and VAN wins the conference, I think we have a better than 2.8% chance to win the first round.)

Seems like the suspension ends, comes back first thing in the morning causing some chaos and gets suspended again?

We don't even know what Wolf is yet.

He could even be great.
