Gotta be honest, I dont see why flames fans should be excited. a lot riding on Hanafin and Linholm having career years. Neal will likely steadily decline in production of the next few years. I fail to see how they are much better than last year. they still have an underwhelming bottom 6, they still have no backup goalie, smith and giordano arent getting younger, and they have 2 good prospects (valimaki and andersson) who are still some what question marks as to if either one can develop into a top pairing guy. even if they are better this year, their not likely to be top of the division (although i guess anything is possible) and there isnt any reason to assume they will be better 2, 3, or 4 years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks defense need to get better or at least play a lot better...we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and could score 30 goals per season...I heard he was one of the guys that stirred the drink in Vegas...great in the room and performed on the ice....we shall see what they can do for their teams...I have a pretty good idea what is going to happen...him being two years younger...similar to LE only he is still leading the way.

I like Neal but think that contract will look really bad somewhere middle of the third year and the last two years will be horrid. He has a lot of miles and isn't the type of player that screams "forever young" given how he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will push to the top of the Western Conference, and win the Stanley Cup. I like the way you think or predict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 That's the problem with the modern world. My statistics are facts! No your facts are just statistics, you can make statistics tell you anything you want! And the vicious circle goes on. Thank God for Capfriendly.
