The Calgary Flames young, forward group with notable names like Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, and Sam Bennett helped bring the Flames to the second round of the playoffs before losing in five to the Anaheim Ducks. The Flames defence wasn’t bad either featuring Mark Giordano (the mid-season Norris winner), as well as T.J. Brodie, the shot block-machine Kris Russell, and Dennis Wideman.

Jets Land Great Haul At Draft

The Winnipeg Jets were able to make it to the playoffs after an incredible season for the first time since landing north of the border back in 2011. On top of their postseason berth, the Jets added to a great year with one of the best drafts in the NHL in 2015 by drafting some of the top talent that was sliding down the draft board. The Jets have really garnered a good prospect pool since coming back to Winnipeg which is shocking considering when leaving Atlanta Carl Klingberg and Arturs Kulda were some of the franchise's top prospects in the system.
