In a few years? Yes.
Right now? No.
If we get 2nd half Elliot we have elite level goaltending. On D its pretty close to as perfect as your going to get.
Up front is the problem, had Bennett developed as quick as Monahan and we surrounded him with a solid line-mate that could score 20/30 a year I would say the Flames would be a legit contender. As good as the Backlund line has been and the amount of offence they've produced, I think its too much to expect that from them in a 7 game series when they are expected to shut down the other teams top line.
