Where is this improved depth and character? I pointed out that there were losses to go with their additions and the losses look like they could easily balance or out weigh the additions. Their major weaknesses were not addressed in any shape or form, but you completely ignored that, repeating your claim they improved their depth and character without backing it up in any way.

I'm defending their top prospects to make my point that the Flames will have to have better depth to match the Oilers talent. Ooh so controversial, what a bloviation on my part.

No, you said "the Oilers likely have the better top end prospect depth than the Flames will accumulate over the next three years." You've looked into your crystal ball and have already decided that it does not matter who the Flames draft in the next three years that the Oilers will have better top end prospect depth.
That is down right hilarious when you consider that McDavid is being considered a generational talent. He alone would be better than any two of the Oilers top prospects. That also does not take into consideration Reinhart, Nylander or Ekblad in next year's draft. Who knows what will be available in 2015? Those kids are still in midget or bantam? We don't even know what the depth of that draft may look like. But we do know, based on your projections, that whatever player the Flames select will not be as good as any of the Oilers top prospects.
You talk about looking bad? You've already passed judgment on players that the Flames haven't even drafted and deemed them substandard compared to the Oilers prospects. That is unbelievably shortsighted and arrogant to even suggest that, especially when those Oilers prospects haven't proven anything to date.
