Pittsburgh was being talked about like they should rebuild again before Sullivan came onboard. Crosby was on the decline, no prospects or picks in the pipeline, wasted picks on Kessel, etc.
Mike Johnston nearly closed that team's window on his own with a garbage system.
As for the Flames, I expect them to make the playoffs and actually win a game or two this time.
