Flames 2017/2018 Bold Predictions

Time to make some bold off-season predictions regarding the upcoming season.

Bold Prediction: Troy Brouwer scores 20 goals.
Bolder Prediction: Curtis Lazar pots 35 points.
Boldest Prediction: Flames win in Anaheim.

Totally out to lunch, I might as well pack it up and call 'er quits super bold insanity prediction...

Gaudreau gets a fighting major.

Your turn.

Flames win the cup.

Not worth watching if you don't believe.

Calgarys' goaltending tandem does better than the Oilers' tandem, oh and Calgary takes the regular season portion of the BOA 5-0!

Brouwer hitting 20 goals wouldn't be that bold. He's either hit that mark or hovered just below it for seven of the last eight seasons. Last year was the only year he didn't come close. In fact his career average is probably right on the 20 goal mark.

Edmonton misses the playoffs in 9th place

Draisaitl misses the first month of the season

Brouwer has a 40 point season.

Janks comes up and plays well enough to become the Flames 3rd line center and Bennett moves to the wing.

Smith comes in and fires up the Flames, he leads the league in assists by a goalie.

JG has a great season and scores at a higher then point per game clip

In the East the Leafs learn that their defense is no good and they miss the playoffs by a lot.

Flames start out slower than last year causing its fans to jump off the wagon and ensuring orthopedic surgeons are the richest doctors in Calgary. A late season surge puts them two points out of the playoffs and 14th OA pick. The lottery gives the Flames first overall.

Flames sign Iggy and he starts off hot instead of cold with a Hat-trick in game one and 10 in his first 15 (9 PPG)

It's getting bold out

You mean it gives the Islanders the first overall pick. The Flames don't own their 2018 1st.

Monahan/Gaudreau outscore McLottoballs/Drysockets, Sam Bennett and Jarmoe get 100 pts combined. Flames make the SCF and beat the Oilers in the 2nd round en route to the final
