If we keep a couple of players and use the cap space wisely in the offseason, I can see us competing for the playoffs in 2 seasons.
This all depends on how we use our assets because at the time, the Oilers didn't have a crazy lot after Smyth

I thought the Flames had a really good team on paper after signing Hudler, Wideman and Cervenka, and with Baertschi joining the team. I thought for sure they would contend for a playoff spot.
I've learned my lesson, no more counting our eggs before they've hatched.
