The problem is that those teams had Iginla, and maybe Savard some nights, same with Val Bure, and an already disinterested Morris, but no bonafide star guys (at that stage Iginla was still working his way up) like JG, Brodie, and can make the case for 3x 20 goal guy in 3 years Monahan.
Flames have overall many better peices than those late 90's teams, but then much worse/lazy/disinterested players who lack confidence, and a coaching staff who doesn't seem to be able to adapt on and off the ice, and hasn't improved the special teams one bit, again, with top offensive guys on the PP.
