Kane may, key word may, have 40 goal potential but he has scored over 20 once so far in his career and maintained an attitude that really makes you question if he can take the jump that a guy like Iginla, hardest worker on the team, made.

Wow if what you say is true that makes me think that I should give up cheering for the Flames.
What Flame would break into the Jets top 6 and make it better.... There might be an argument that Monahan will turn out better than Schiefele. Now they are about even. But would Hudler be an upgrade on Little?
On the other hand any of the Jets top 6 would be in the Flames top 3.
On defense Trouba >>> Brodie , Gio >> Bogosian (just based on last season the year before they were equal) and Bogosian is 24 and Gio is 30. Enstrom >>>>>> Wideman. Stuart > Russell and for Morrisey there is no equivalent in the Flames Organization.
Maybe I have a case of seeing the grass being greener.... but I think that the Jets are what the Flames are going to be (trying to be?) in a few years if they don't panic and trade off their young studs (Monahan Gaudreau, Bennett and Brodie and wait for them to take over the team.
