Irrelevant comparison, what matters is what the Flames got versus what the Flames could have got if they swallowed their medicine.
In many ways Vancouver is having this rebuild forced onto them in ways that didn't become as acute for the Flames. I can't help but feel that if we had a disappointing season like the Canucks and our star got injured that we would have instead hunkered down and hoped for next season instead of just throwing the towel in on the core that was clearly not going to do anything further.
