If they are they're going to fail. The Flames need to become their own team with their own identity. The Flames picked up a few of their players through lucky trades too and signed some key UFA's (like Hossa).
Feaster and co. need to get a game plan and stick to it (seems to be what they're doing so far) and not try to do what any other team has done because every team is different. I'll agree that the hawks are a good example of what teams should strive for but when it comes to drafting, trades and signing players luck has a lot to do with it too.
