2016-17 Calgary Flames Season Takes Off

It came down to the wire but the final roster has been set and the 2015-2016 Calgary Flames season is about to begin. The single questions fans are asking (since thee Gaudreau signing): will the Flames make the playoffs?

I would say, YES!

The goaltending alone I believe gives the team at minimum 10 extra points. The improvements up front will translate into exciting hockey and more goals. We can only assume that the special teams can go nowhere but up. At the D should remain solid (unless Wideman plays top-line minutes). They’re not a Stanley Cup team, yet, but they’re definitely on the upward trend which is a welcome sight for Flames fans who have endured too many years to count dwelling in the basement of NHL standings.
