Truth is, the only way EDM can go deep is riding McDavid and Talbot and if anyone has the ability to carry a club, it's Mcdavid.
Having said all that, I like how the Flames are built and they can match up well against anyone IMO.

But we have seen time and time again that it is far too difficult for one forward or defenseman to do it on his own over the course of a seven game series. Jaromir Jagr was the best player on the planet by a wide margin in the late nineties and early 2000s, and while he looked amazing dragging the Penguins into the playoffs every year, he was often completely exhausted before the end of the first round.
