good lists. I don't even think flames fans need just lists to prove your point though.
we have seen that the flames effort to go from playoff team to contender did see them bring in grit players, secondary wingers, first line wingers, top dmen, secondary dmen, through the means of draft/trade/UFA. Centers are just impossible, as they are such a sought after commodity..
with the flames finally picking as high as they are, and guys like mackinnon, lindhom, barkov, monohan as centers at the top of the food chain, sure hope the flames go that route.
