Calgary Flames

Additions
Dougie Hamilton & Michael Frolik

Losses
Devin Setoguchi, Corey Potter & David Schlemko

Preview

What a year last year was for the Flames! Only the second year in their rebuild and they not only manage to get to the playoffs but also make it through to the second round after beating Canucks in 7 games. Everyone thought of the opposite, meaning that the Flames would be a high contender in getting McDavid in the draft, but that wasn’t even close. The management won’t rush to win the Stanley Cup but of course they wouldn’t mind.

Goaltending

All 3 goalies in Flames are No. 1 goalies, which might be a problem, but last year they complemented each other perfectly. When Jonas Hiller faltered, one of Ramo or Ortio would step up and make a good job. I do believe that one of them will be named the No. 1 goalie during the training camp late September, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we will see at least 2 goalies dividing the games.

Defense

Last season the defense got struck when Giordano had his season-ending bicep injury. This year they hope that he will be healthy during the whole season and they’ve made a really nice trade when they acquired Dougie Hamilton from Bruins. I would say that the Flames might have the best top-6 defenders in the league. Many teams go with 2-4 really good defenders and 3rd pair is being forgotten, but Flames do really have 3 complete and good defensive pairs.

Offense

Can Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau make the same thing that Sean Monahan did last season? Avoid the sophomore slump that is. Monahan did 31 goals last season (his second season) and Gaudreau made 24 goals and 64 points in his rookie season. The blue line part of Calgary is also a serious offensive threat. Hamilton, Giordano, T.J. Brodie and Dennis Wideman will make a big impression in the pacific division and the NHL.

Summary

Can the Calgary Flames fight for the Stanley Cup? I actually believe so. If the Flames can avoid the hangover from last season’s success and the players stay healthy they will have a really good chance. Many contenders have been decimated by salary cap (one example is Blackhawks who lost Sharp & Saad among others). I will certainly follow the Flames during this season because I believe they are a really exciting team on paper.
