Of course it will result in a higher placement in the standings. The reason this didn't work for the Oilers is because the hole for them was so, SO deep to begin with: Great goaltending was enough for Edmonton to improve their goal differential by more than +40 goals. Unfortunately for them, that improvement resulted in them moving from absurdly historically bad to merely terrible.
The Flames are not even remotely historically bad, and are arguably not even terrible. Their hole is no where close to the depth of Edmonton's. The improvement they need to make is dramatically smaller.
