The Flames and Canucks bring up the rear on this list.

Although the Canucks are the league's worst team this season, we'd argue they underachieved this year. They still have center Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk and Filip Hronek, three of whom had more points than Calgary's top scorer, Matt Coronato. Pettersson, Boeser and DeBrusk have also shown before that they can produce much more, and they've yet to turn 30.

The Canucks could take a step behind the Flames in their development if they ship out a boatload of veterans this summer. But if we had to choose between the Canucks and Flames to make the playoffs next season, we'd go with the former.
