The risk the Oilers have is they are going to be leaning too much on McDavid during these last 16 games with the risk being they either start to burn him out ( similar with Talbot).
The benefit the Flames have is they have a more balanced scoring attack with solid contributions from two lines and also some support from the 3rd and 4th lines. Flames have a more balanced goalie situation, and better goal production from the d- core as well. It is not a case of relying on Johnny to get us to the promised land.
