Does anyone seriously think the the Blackhawks would be worse if they had MORE Patrick Kanes and Duncan Keiths?

They can add one or maybe 2 more soft players but after that there is a tipping point where their team success will fall off. They basically become the Oilers.
The Flames are counting on Monahan as a major piece in the turn around... He was never ever considered to be a #1 pick overall. Edmonton has 3 #1 picks overall ... Plus #6 overall Gagner, Plus #22 overall Eberle (who Flames fans hope that Baertschi will be able to match). They are all soft or marginally soft. I don't think Lowe and McTavish are wrong in that in a player for player deals they could realistically trade their current roster for any line - up in the NHL.
Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith would not have gotten the 2012-13 Flames into the playoffs. .... well they may have as the Flames if the Flames would have dumped Bouwmeester, Cervenka, Hulder and one of Tanguay or Cammalleri to fit them into the roster.
