Can the Calgary Flames make next year's playoffs with this starting roster?

Forwards

LW Centre RW

Iginla Cammalleri Tanquay

Glencross Backlund Moss

Baertschi Cervenka Aliu

Jones Stajan Jackman

Defence

Bouwmeester Giordano

Hannan Babchuk

Butler Brodie

Goal

Kiprusoff

Irving

Update:

For Chris - obviously if a trade can be made for Bouwmeester then jump at it but nobody is going to take his cap hit for what he is. I would like to see the Cervenka line play top 6 minutes but I like the 3 young players together hopefully giving the Flames more enthusiasm and speed.

    They can, if Bouwmeester stops being a useless body, Kiprusoff has another great season, Irving has a good rookie season, and if the top line of Iginla-Cammalleri-Tanguay can produce, since all three have had 80+ points and they can 90 points with a effort.

    BTW, Baertschi should be on the second line.

    I think they can finish 5th-8th.

    Seriously though, Bouwmeester needs to go. $6.6 million for a offensive defenseman who can't put up more then 35 points and is crappy defensively? Needs to go.

    If they all work as a TEAM, which they've been lacking the past couple years, and can finally make plays through the back check, Id say they could pull it off! Maybe only a 7th or 8th seed but as we saw this year, doesn't matter which seed you are!
