sort of like "Who will compete with the Hawks soonest?"
The implication of that question is that the Flames have arrived and who is the next team that will get to their level.
Why was the poll added to the Jets thread?
I think that after reading most of the comments there are a lot of Flames fans like me that are guardedly optimistic. Things have been going really really well for the Flames over the last year.... Think it is the start of a solid contender but kind of afraid that 2014-15 and the 2015 off season is a perfect storm sort of like the Avs had in 2013-14.

Actually, it's like "who will compete with the Flames soonest" and not anything else. I don't know why you think its elevating the Flames to the Hawks' level.
I suspect the poll was in the Jets thread because that's the most likely answer.
As for Avs comparisons, the Avs relied on hot goaltending which coooled off. The Flames didn't (quite the opposite as a matter of fact). Plus the Flames have improved their roster in places where it counts. The Avs didn't IMO (sorry Jarome).
