The 2024–25 season is about to get underway. For the Calgary Flames, it’s a bit of a proving ground year. While the sentiment around the team is that they’re rebuilding, the expectations around how they’ll perform aren’t exactly quite aligned with them being a basement team in the league. With seasoned veterans who will still provide value, prospects chomping at the bits, and an injection of youth and speed, the Flames might just be a surprise team—for better or for worse.
How the team will fare throughout the season is anyone’s guess. Predicting where the team might finish is a hard enough task, but let’s have some fun with predictions overall. Which player in the organisation is more likely to have the better season when pitted in head-to-head comparisons with other Flames?
Predicting who will have the better season
To find the answer, here is a poll where every single player under contract with the Flames at least through 2024–25 is listed. With full-time NHLers, newly-signed entry-level players, and everyone in between, picking what might be a better season will involve a healthy mix of easy predictions, gut feelings, and some wild guesses. Between any two players, the better season can be defined as the most NHL points, the best development in junior leagues, the biggest surprise, or anything else.
With enough votes across the fanbase, it should provide valuable insights into the sentiments of each and every player in the organisation.
