Looking at the Sabres roster and Flames the two biggest differences are they signed a below average goalie (Neuwirth) while the Flames got Hiller and they didn't have a stud defenseman in their prime (Gio) like we do. If you took Gio out making our defense Brodie-Russell, Smid-Wideman, Engelland-Diaz and put Neuwirth in for Hiller the Flames would very likely be in Sabres/Canes territory this year.

No offense, but this is a dumb argument. If we didn't have our best players, we'd be worse? No kidding.
