Is this where you hope the Flames are 5 years from now?

No.
You asked where the leafs were after Burke, and that's where they were, and not because of nonis. Burke wasn't done building though.
I assume, wrongly perhaps, that Burke was fired due to lack of results.
I just remember that Darryl Sutter did a lot of good in Calgary, but his good was mostly judged from getting the flames, after 7yrs of missing playoffs, into the finals. Who knows what happens if the leafs don't blow as 3-goal lead in the 3rd period. Might be like the flames in 2004 or oilers in 2006.
