While it is still a full season and a half away, the Flames Fans have an eye on the future. "2023-2024 is where we feel our true Cup contention begins. Upfront we are hoping Stutzle has a break-out year next season and will be a top-line player come 2023. We are strong throughout the lineup and have a strong bankroll and should have around 20M in cap space if we need to be players in the next couple free-agent years if the right player is available."
Captain Pietrangelo and McAvoy will lead a very strong backend. "We have worked very hard to make sure we have a highly skilled and deep blueline. Our guys can move up and down the lineup with ease and still have enough talent in the pipeline to make sure it won't be a concern for a long time.
In net Demko will be taking the majority of the load but a good backup is still a glaring hole. Drew Commesso and Joel Blomqvist look to have bright futures but are a ways off.
2023-2024 may be a ways off, but the Flames Faithful still has an eye on what should be a fun year and the beginning of something special.
