If a team is spending to the cap it is absolutely crazy (a complete and utter management failure of Lowe-esque proportions)) to say that they are not good enough to compete for a playoff spot.

The Flames will have around 45M tied up in 7 players up to 2019-20. Monahan, Gaudreau, Brouwer, Frolik, Hamilton, Gio and Brodie.
That leaves 35M for 16 players 30M for 15 if Elliot signs for 5x4
Only so much can be done with 2M players.....
The core 7 are in place for at least the next 4 years and how they do is how well the Flames do.

So the Oilers were only rebuilding for one or two seasons (if that)?
