Last one will be unpopular, but until the Flames goaltending proves itself, we aren't a cup threat. Oilers have the kind of goaltending that could win a cup by itself. That said, both are very unlikely this year.

The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to TheScorpion For This Useful Post:
Gaudreau hits more than 80 points - although if he does, logically Monahan probably has 35+ as well.
Ferland 20 goals - barring injury, Bennett sticks as the #3C, and in this day and age, that role doesn't produce 40+ with no power play time.
Jankowski plays 40 games - Jankowski is ready to be an NHL player. No idea if Foo is.
Smith has a save % of .915+ - Smith is going to have a Roloson renaissance.
Marchand will be suspended at some point this year - realistically, I think this happens to both of them.
Bennett signs a contract before the first day of fall - the guy picked above him just got $68M. Bennett has no ground to hold out. He'll be here.
Hamonic is going to play with Brodie.
Poirier gets 5+ with the Flames - if Emile has his demons on a leash, he's still a former 1st round pick. An injury to the right player combined with a good camp and strong start in Stockton could see Poirier get his first good look in a while. I think a better question here would be Emile or Shinkaruk gets 5+ with the big club.
Dougie is an All-Star dark horse. He plays the sort of game that lends itself to All Star nominations.
Brouwer gets 35 points - Brouwer is consistently good for 33-40 points a year. In his first year in a new city, he got injured and never got back on track. 35 point Brouwer is not a boat anchor, and is in fact a very useful player. I think he rebounds.
Flames finish top 4 in conference - #### the Jets.
Flames win a playoff round - yes.
Flames sign Jagr - yes.
Flames win the mother####ing cup, and they step over the corpses of the Oilers and Ducks to do it.

He's right though, if Talbot can continue his all world play they have the slight edge. Smith needs to prove he can be a legit #1 and we can have consistently good goaltending.

Feel free to add more..
A) Vegas makes the playoffs B) Vancouver makes the playoffs
A) Leafs miss the playoffs B) Oilers miss the playoffs
A) Gaudreau hits 80 points B) Monahan hits 35 goals
· Monahan feels like a shoe-in +25 goal-scorer for the duration of his career.
Quote:
A) Bennett hits 40 points B) Ferland hits 20 goals
· It depends on deployment, and at this point I think if Ferland gets any kind of sustained time on the top line he is good for 20.
Quote:
A) Jankowski plays 40 games B) Foo plays 40 games
· This has to do mostly with depth and injuries. I think there is more room for Foo than for Jankowski.
Quote:
A) Smith has a save pct of .915
B) Lack has a save pct of .915
Quote:
A) Tkachuk gets suspended a few games in the season B) Marchand gets suspended a few games in the season
· Because Marchand is a repeat offender.
Quote:
A) Flames win in Anaheim
B) Vegas wins in Calgary
· It should have happened last year. It is DEFINITELY HAPPENING this season. Once the Flames win at the Pond the floodgates will open and Anaheim will never win another home game against Calgary.
Quote:
A) Sigalet gets fired B) Sigalet gets praised
· There is no sign whatsoever that the organisation is displeased with Sigalet, nor any indication that he is in danger of losing his job.
Quote:
A) Backlund gets extended before Christmas B) Bennett signs contract before first day of Fall
· There is virtually no chance that Bennett's contract is not signed before the season.
Quote:
A) Hamonic gets more ice time with Brodie
B) Stone gets more ice time with Brodie
Quote:
A) Gazdic plays 5+ games with the flames B) Poirier plays 5+ games with the flames
· Poirier may be a little far down on the depth chart to get many games this season, and I get the sense that Gazdic may make a few appearances on the bench to crack skulls of Oilers and Ducks buffoons.
Quote:
A) Hamilton plays in the all star game
B) Monahan plays in the all star game
· This is the year Hamilton becomes a perennial Norris Trophy candidate.
Quote:
A) Lazar gets 30 points B) Brouwer gets 35 points
· Brouwer's career average is around 35-points, and last year was the worst of his entire NHL career. This feels like a safe bet.
Quote:
A) Jets make the playoffs B) Flames finish top 4 in the conference
· Is this a serious question?
Quote:
A) Flames win a playoff round
B) Sharks win a playoff round
· IS THIS A SERIOUS QUESTION??
Quote:
A) Flames sign Jagr
B) Another team signs Jagr
Quote:

When was the last time a goalie willed a team to a Cup victory? If anything, I think it is probably less difficult to win with an average goalie and great depth than it is with elite goaltending and Ryan Nugget Hopkins, Kris Russell and a bunch of shrubs taking regular shifts in the playoffs.

No, he is not. Cam Talbot is not Patrick Roy, and this is not 1993.

Sigalet already gets praised like every time Brad or Glen talk. I don't think Poirier or Gazdic have a chance at playing 5 games.
