I really want instant chemistry between Neal Monahan and gaudreau. A line that pushes to score 100 goals combined

I really want lindholm and hanifin to come in and realize their potential as top 5 draft picks

I really want Bennett to step up to a legit top 6 winger.

I really want Valimaki to push kulak off the team and give Treliving options to push a veteran defenceman off the team next summer

I really want to see parsons light up the ahl

I want Monahan, Lindholm, or even Janko to take a big leap and become an elite #1C. IMO everything else is moot unless this happens, or we acquire that level of C through a trade.

Connor McDavid announces he wants to be traded, citing there is no hope of this franchise ever being successful.

Playoffs.
Win one round or four. 2 or 3 is too big of a tease.
Everything else as far as details on how it gets to that, is noise. Would you give up the next 5+ years of individual player development or the coach playing the proper system etc etc, for a SCF win? Yes.

Beat the Oilers every game. Humiliation as Mr. Dunlop has put it, in some or all of those. Have the Oilers finish last but lose the draft lottery.
Have to Toronto media force Matthews out, in the soap opera with him and Babcock (with Tavares the shiny new toy) as the Leafs also stink things up.

Copious amounts of Oiler jerseys thrown onto their home ice. Bonus points if it's during a game against the Flames.

Bennett to turn it around, become the next Doug Gilmour he was projected to be and push our already solid second line center down to become the best third line center in the league.

Smith to stay healthy.

If this happens, we're making a solid push to the conference finals. Winnipeg/Nashville/St. Louis will be the real test

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Good Bennett - Neal
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Someone - Ryan - Czarnik

icon57 What is something you REALLY want to happen next season?

It would be awesome if one rookie forward and one rookie defenseman solidified themselves in the top six and top four.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Foo
Frolik - Backlund - Ryan
Bennett - Jankowski - Czarnik

Giordano - Brodie
Välimäki - Hamonic
Hanifin - Stone

If not Foo and Välimäki, perhaps one of Mangiapane, Dubé, Kylington or Andersson.

Bond as a team in China

Become a team that always makes the playoffs without having to have a miracle run to squeak in.

Have Hakan Loob find us players that want to come play for the flames that will make an impact for years.

Stay healthy

Have the dome turn into a rock concert exciting atmosphere like Vegas ......tired of our library like setting.

Play 60 minute games peddle to the metal

Neal to score 25 and play beast to set the tone for the team as a tough edge leader.
Smith to stay healthy and a backup to win 13/25.
Conference finals.
Fans are happy with the big trade and recognize short and long term value.

I want one of the best home records in the league. Single digit loses. Make the Dome fun again.

I really want Bennett to have a breakout season.
I really want the Flames to have an awesome Home record.
I really want Smith to not get injured.
I really want Neal to score 30 on a top 2 line.
Finally, I really want Noah to have a career best season.

I have a wedding MC gig for 2 Oiler fans in June, the more material the better.

1) Flames beatdown Grease in the BOA
2) Playoffs out of reach for E=NG by trade deadline or earlier
3) Less than 20 points for Lucic and a +/- uglier than his mug

On the Flames side.

1) Rebound season for TJ Brodie, and resulting career season for the captain
2) Johnny finishes in the top 5 of league scoring and is a Hart finalist (with Matthews and Laine)
3) As a result of #2, 30+ for Monahan and the Real Deal.

McDavid comes in 50 pounds overweight. Ties Lucic for slowest skater. Tells Chia “the contract kicked in”.
