Yeah easier said than done….
It’s not like we are seeing mid range prospects turning into good second liners every year

Loaded with 2nd liners. We need some top line guys

Calgary goes from 9th worst to entering the year likely 6th worst. Bottom 5 should all stay bottom 5 coming into the year. Huge gap between bottom five and everyone else last year in terms of goal differential, so even if some of those teams improve, it probably won't be too dramatic.

It's embarrassing that you would prefer to purposely lose than play a roster that has a better chance of winning games.

This is gonna be a long couple of years for you my guy.

Markstrom was very good last year and the only thing keeping the Flames out of the bottom 5. Would be very surprised if the Flames finish outside the bottom 5.

I guess we will see.

I'm not going to hope my team loses. That's Oiler stuff.

Give us markstron, tanev, and hanifin and we're a wild card team.

A bottom three team in Anaheim better see MacTavish have a Hughes type leap of they're improving that much

I'm not expecting Anaheim to jump us but you are ignoring a lot of players besides McTavish.

We also lost Zadorov and Lindholm, Lindholm was leading the league in TOI% against elite competition when we traded him. Sure his production wasn't great but him eating those minutes played a huge part in why the Kadri line just got to feast on 3rd and 4th liners all year.

I honestly didn't even notice Lindholm leaving. He had given up. Hanifin and Tanev leaving was earth shattering haha. Whole team fell apart without them. Pachal and Hanley getting top 4 minutes was ugly.

I mean we can hope for better but still expect to suck. I fully expect the team to be top 3, but f***ed if I'm not cheering for an 82-0 season and a Stanley Cup. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
