HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025

[Habs7631]

You can forget Florida missing the playoffs that's for sure.

When the season was starting I had a little hope that they would have a down season after back-to-back trip to the finals and losing a couple players to free agency.

But even when they are missing players they look so good. Their forecheck is unreal.

They did not lose anybody that important. Lundell is underrated by this board imo. Luostarinen is a very good middle six player imo. If he had more TOI in a lesser team he would do 20 goals and 45ish points. Matthew Samoskevich is a pretty good porspect. Schmidt is a solid vet add he wont support the offense as much as Montour but defensively he'll be solid for them. They need a quarterback but that's something they could adress at the deadline.

Yes unless Tkachuk and and another top forward or 2 go down with injuries.

Hey if that happens……do I have a deal for you. We have a Dvo & Armia that you can have for some magic beans

At least one point for Calgary so far.

Flames win in the shootout.

Wolf looks excellent, Calgary is a solid team.

They could be the real deal. We'll see...

Even if they actually make the playoffs, better to have two playoff teams that may crash out in the first round than one, for the 1st.

Damn, the Flames are holding on longer than I thought they would.. I think they'll ultimately fade in the second half of the season, but the longer they keep this up, the more we have a chance at that 10-15 pick.

It feels eerily similar to the Florida troll job of two seasons ago only in reverse.
