The Calgary Flames were expected to be in their first post-rebuild year last season, which meant moving up in the stands from the year prior — but not by nearly as much as they ended up moving up by.
In a year bolstered by high shooting percentages, insanely lucky stats while playing 6 on 5, and career years for — well, pretty much everyone on the team – the Flames pushed themselves into the post-season and took the first round of the playoffs from the hapless Vancouver Canucks (who are another story altogether). They even came back to take a game from the almighty Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Semi-Final, which was no easy feat. Needless to say, they surpassed nearly every expectation set before them by leaps and bounds.
The early expectation was that their numbers would fall moving into the 2015-2016 campaign, with players like Lance Bouma and Micheal Ferland unlikely to find the numbers they produced last year sustainable. Even if the team’s top tier skaters maintained their production over the upcoming year, there were simply too many players who benefited from lucky to maintain such a perfect season with so much youth still in the lineup.
The team then went out and made two key acquisitions that made that core noticeably better — and they could actually come close to sustaining their success after all.
On the wing, the Flames picked up ex-Winnipeg Jet forward Michael Frolik, who brings strong possession statistics and decent scoring upside. He should, combined with the addition of 19-year old Sam Bennett (and the hope that Calder nominee Johnny Gaudreau won’t have as slow a start this upcoming year as he did in his rookie campaign) to solidify the team’s offensive corps quite a bit.
On defense, though, the big move was made — the team traded their first round selection and two second round selections to the Bruins for right defenseman Dougie Hamilton. At 22, he’s already one of the best all-around defensemen in the NHL; with expectations that he’ll only continue to get better over time. The Flames solidified their defensive corps in a way that they had desperately needed to all last year. At worst, the team will regress slightly from where they were last year – but the way that they locked themselves into a solid lineup last year (and improved upon it in weak areas over the summer), could result in a best-case year where the team manages to only improve upon where they stood in April.
Goaltending could be the team’s weakest area, something that actually proves to be true for nearly the entire Pacific Division — but not in the sense that either Karri Ramo or Jonas Hiller will be actually bad. Hiller plays one of the most movement-efficient games in the NHL, and his calm presence in net helped the team out immensely last year. There’s just the sense that neither he nor Ramo are likely to be Vezina-candidate netminders, which leaves that position the most vulnerable on the team.
At worst, one of Ramo or Hiller gets injured, and the team either gets a chance to see if Joni Ortio has improved his play in North America or if NCAA netminder Jon Gillies can replicate his success from Providence College’s national championship this spring. At best, both Ramo and Hiller play strong seasons and Ortio and Gillies continue to develop and improve in the AHL. Neither scenario screams ‘elite netminding’ just yet, but there’s not much to worry about, either. The biggest concern is that Ortio has lost his waiver-exempt status, and it’s likely that Gillies won’t be truly NHL ready for another two seasons at best. There could be an odd man out situation before long, which puts Calgary in a bind. Expect that to be an underlying storyline throughout the year.
Trending Up
Johnny Gaudreau (LW) – It seems hard to believe that 22 year old Johnny Gaudreau could possibly get better at hockey, but he actually started out the 2014-2015 campaign struggling to score in the NHL. Now that he’s adjusted to the pro game, expect him to hit the ground running from day one. Spatial awareness has never been an issue for the undersized sniper, but defensive proficiency certainly has been. While the expectation is that Jiri Hudler will always be around to serve as a ‘parent’ to him and linemate Sean Monahan, he’ll need to learn how to play at least effective defense on his own before long.
Gaudreau finished the 2014-2015 regular season campaign with 24 goals and 64 points, then tacked on four goals and nine points in the post-sesaon; it’s easy to see him reaching an annual 30 goal status before too long. Expect an impressive rookie campaign to only segue into a truly spectacular career; unless Johnny Hockey loses his elite on-ice vision, it’s hard to picture his performance going anywhere but up from here.
T.J. Brodie (LD) – I want you to lean back and close your eyes.
Now, picture T.J. Brodie (11G, 30A, 283 individual shot attempts in the regular season) and Dougie Hamilton (10G, 32A, 70.07 CF% and one of the best relative possession figures among defensemen his age league-wide). One is a left shot, one is right. They are both members of the Calgary Flames.
Everyone is buzzing about the prospect of seeing Hamilton in a Flames jersey, but the team already has a young defenseman poised to have an unreal season — and he won’t have to fight with Hamilton to make sure that still happens. The two will develop and flourish separately, shaping the future of the Calgary blue line over the 82 game season next year. Brodie is a player that fans league-wide don’t always talk about, but he sure deserves to be in the conversation for players who look ready to wow the crowd.
If that doesn’t get you excited about the upcoming season, nothing will.
Trending Down
Matt Stajan (C) – The Calgary Flames have been a struggling team for quite a few years now, and Matt Stajan was – it’s hard to say it – one of the team’s heart and soul players. It’s hard not to root for Matt Stajan, and his on-ice performance is good enough to warrant his cult fandom among Flames supporters.
Unfortunately, though, Stajan is also 31 — and his play, as is expected, is on the decline. He still puts up acceptable possession figures for a bottom six skater, and the team can rely on him to drive his own play, scoring somewhere between 5 and 15 goals a season. That’s down from the 15 to 20 he was once capable of, though, and that’s something that the fans will need to accept if he ends up struggling more this year than he has in the past. With so many young prospects waiting for a shot at the NHL in Calgary’s system, the Flames will need to be sure that Stajan is the right option if they keep playing him — and while there’s still a chance that will be the case this year, it’s hard to see it being the case for very long beyond that.
Deryk Engelland (RD) – Understanding Engelland’s role on the Calgary Flames is really, really hard.
He’s not, as many fans bemoan him to be, a terrible NHL player. As a matter of fact, he’s actually still a reasonably competent vet — granted that he’s given sheltered ice time and isn’t being faced with the league’s toughest competition on every shift. That’s where things start to go wrong – and that’s somehow what happened far too often in the 2014-2015 season.
Luckily, having Dougie Hamilton on the team should alleviate some of the pressure to play Engelland in more than a lower pairing role at any time. The Flames no longer need to rely on the veteran right shot to carry tougher minutes than he’s capable of carrying with both Hamilton and Dennis Wideman supplying depth on the right back end. As a result, his play could actually see a bit of an increase next year — but don’t be fooled. Improved play when faced against a lower quality of competition than a player was once capable of facing doesn’t mean they’re trending up. It means that a depreciating asset can still be useful when deployed the right way. Hopefully, that will be the Deryk Engelland story in the 2015-2016 season, and everyone can go home happy.
Trade Deadline Outlook:
It’s hard to tell exactly where the Flames will be come the trade deadline, since they defied all statistical logic on their PDO-driven run to the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year (and, as mentioned above, managed to improve upon the roster they iced last year). The expectation is that they will be a bubble team, but it’s hard to tell whether they’ll approach that as buyers or sellers.
If they go in as sellers, expect to see a few older names moved out; if someone miraculously wants what’s left of Ladislav Smid (or is willing to take on Engelland’s cap hit for right defense depth), the team would ship him out for a lower pick if possible. Someone like Stajan, a depreciating asset, could be out as well. If Josh Jooris plays well enough, he could bump the need for David Jones. Joe Colborne? Fans can hope he’ll stay, but one of he, Mason Raymond, and Micheal Ferland could be an easy trade piece for a team looking to pay for a need they have to address (especially since we haven’t even talked about the prospect of Emile Porier having a breakout year, and he’s a left wing prospect as well). Even the undersized but fiery Paul Byron could be a trade piece if a team is willing to give up a valuable enough asset — and the way that Byron plays, that’s entirely possible.
If they go in as buyers, though, it could be in any area. The team’s centre depth is impressive, but they still lack in sufficient possession talent — if that becomes a problem, look for that need to be addressed. On defense, the club could move out some of the depth blue line talent trapped in the system — but they could also look to bring someone in if a skater isn’t working out for whatever reason. Goaltending? There is the whole three goalie situation that will need addressing, and plenty of teams get greedy for net presence around the deadline — there’s always the chance the Flames stay quiet, but they could easily be an exciting team to watch on leap day as well.

* Different sites have different guidelines for who is a ‘prospect.’
1. Sam Bennett: Centre – 6’1” / 178 lbs
A shoulder injury that required surgery derailed any chance of Bennett making Calgary out of training camp. Bennett is a very confident player and was certain he would have made it. Instead he was returned to the Kingston Frontenacs to finish the last 12 games of the regular season where he scored 24 points. The Fronts were dismissed in four straight games and Bennett was returned to the Flames and he made his NHL debut in the final regular season game and earned his first NHL point. In the playoffs he continued to impress playing in 11 games scoring three goals and passing the eye test with flying colours. Bennett has played his final game in junior and is a lock to be the second line centre in Calgary.
2. Emile Poirier: Right Wing – 6’2” / 200 lbs
Like Bennett, Poirier suffered a shoulder injury in training camp, but he was able to return quick enough to play in 55 AHL games where he scored an impressive 42 points. Poirier also had a six game look with the Flames and recorded his first career NHL point. He did not however get a chance to crack the Flames lineup during their playoff run and will try to earn a roster spot out of camp. The free agent signing of Michael Frolik may hinder Poirier’s chances of cracking the Flames roster, but he will have looks at the NHL level during the season if he fails to make the team out of the gate. Poirier has average NHL size, but plays an aggressive bigger man’s style of game, so avoiding injury will be key. He is quick and is very capable of burying his scoring chances.
3. Joni Ortio: Goalie – 6’1” / 185 lbs
The 24-year old Ortio has 15 games of NHL experience to his credit now and is close to graduating from the prospect ranks. He has NHL size and athleticism, and his performance in both the AHL and NHL have been impressive. However, the Flames also have Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo signed to $4.5 and $3.6 million contracts ahead of him. The Flames have let it be known that they will not carry three goalies on the roster, so unless they make a trade or there is an injury, expect Ortio to be the odd man out. Both Hiller and Ramo will become UFA’s next summer opening up a door for Ortio.
4. Kenney Morrison: Defence – 6’2” / 210 lbs
The big Lloydminster defenceman was one of the most sought after free agents to come out of college this season. The Flames signed him and he managed to get in ten games in the AHL with Adirondack, scoring two goals and four assists. He skates well for a bigger man, with a long reach and the ability to transition the play up the ice, carrying the puck and running the power play with his big hard shot. The addition of Dougie Hamilton makes the Flames defence extremely deep and arguably the best in the NHL. While Morrison is already 23-years old, he can expect to continue to develop in the AHL, but it wont be long before he pushes his way into the Flames lineup.
5. Jon Gillies: Goalie – 6’5” / 215 lbs
The All-star college goalie has signed a contract and will begin his pro career. Given the log jam the Flames have in net, Gillies seems a lock to begin his career learning the pro game in the AHL. Gillies won tournament MVP honors in the Frozen Four in 2015, and had impressive career stats with Providence with a 2.08 GAA and a .931 save percentage. He has the size and skill to be a number one goalie.
