IDK...Saillias...a couple of 50/50 calls go the 'Hawks way, like an offside or a goal disallowed for a high stick (three of these kind of calls went the Kings way on GTG or GWG plays), and the 'Hawks advance instead, this passed season. The 'Hawk top line guys are still pretty darn good, Crawford does have a SC Championship on his resume, and losing the likes of Versteeg or Bickell would only be a positive, in the minds of many 'Hawk fans. (And to the Flame fans that want to see Vesteeg in Calgary are INSANE! The guy has NOT recovered, IMO, from his knee problems, and seems to have not progressed in "Hockey Smarts")
