I see the Flames doing well this year, but still finishing 3rd in the division (behind SJ and LV). If they can be healthy come playoffs, though, I can see them winning a round or two (maybe more).

I agree with most of that. I think Rittich’s slight decline was due to a wonky knee down the stretch.

Not sure about the Sharks, they’re going to miss Pavelski big time!!

My favorite in the west is Colorado.
They have added some really nice pieces.

That's what I think. They moved on from one of their best player. I think they're going to slip a little this season. And they still have crap goaltending.

Goaltending is the big issue for me.

The gains these 4 players *should* make should take care of any regression. Also wouldn't be surprised if we saw more production from Tkachuk this year.

Barring any setbacks and giving him 6 months to recover, he should be back by end of February/March. If he was in his 30's I'd be worried, kids heal fast, I think he'll be back early.

He’s also a kid who needs as much time in the gym and playing to develop further... I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a non factor this year

I would give him the year off and get him some special training. Prevent further injuries

Need to sign Tkachuk first before we can expect any gains. Would love to see Bennett plugged into the top 6 for an extended period of time.

Oilers vs. Flames rookies on Saturday ! For what it's worth. Interested to see Yelesin, Pelletier, Parsons, Tuulola and a few others.
