HF Habs: Flames 1st Round Pick 2025

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

There is no way CGY makes the playoffs this year let's root for them because they will go down fast in 2025

Theres a way, if the Bruins don't make it in the East, a team shittier than the Flames will make it.

If they do it would still be a better pick than Florida and that's all I'm aiming for. Can put us in the Hage range before even attempting to slide up the draft board.

True, CGY can make it, I would be extremely surprised tho, as a wild card and an early exit playoffs, a 16-18th pick is still very good for a cap dump (monahan) it would remind me the Marleau trade to CAR, could land a Jarvis type of player with a 16th-18th we never know

Yeah. The only thing i want from them is being in a WC spot or in contention for one coming trade deadline so they don't go full selling mode.

I got super invested 2 years ago only to be rewarded with Newhook.
Let's say I am not holding my breath this year.

Here are some prospects we could have in our fold, had the Pens been worth a darn for one game:
Yager, Wood, Honzek, Sale, Perreault, Musty, Ritchie.
Man, that is yell-in-a-pillow bad luck.




Edit: Michkov - ok I'll see myself out
 
When's the last time a team made the playoffs with its leading scorer on pace for 49 points in an 82-game season? They do have depth and work hard as a team, but it's largely the play of Wolf, and I have my doubts that he keeps this up all year. We need to hope that they get as many points as possible for the time being.

That's a good question...I know the Habs made the playoffs in the 2010-2011 season with Plekanec as the leading scorer with only 57 points. The second leading scorer was Cammalleri with only 47 points.

I also expect Calgary to start descending in the standings, but the question is how far will they fall. I think there's a really good chance they end up right where we want them, in that 11th-15th range from the bottom.
 
in all seriousness so far so good. We avoided worst case scenario which is bottom 5 to 10.

Now even if they make the playoffs the pick will be in the 17 range. So we're looking anywhere between 12 and 18 for now

Flames will come back down to earth and bless us with a top 15 pick.
It has been written.

At least we got Hage last year with a package of the late 1st.

Let's hope HuGo have found their groove with the late 1sts, after Mesar and Newhook. Though even those two have a lot of hockey left to have their say.
 
Flames outshot Rags 49-29! They win 3-2.

They're now 11th overall (22nd draft spot).

I caught some of this game. I was very impressed with Calgary. They completely worked the Rangers.

Their guys seem to play hard and they look like a tight knit group having fun at the moment.

It's probably not sustainable, and the way I see it, the flames are building a cushion for the Habs that when things do go south for them, the Habs are looking at a pretty good scenario as far the pick goes.
