I feel like at the moment Calgary's core is more of a comparable to St.Louis before their losses of Backes and Shattenkirk than Chicago.

St.Louis has the game breaking winger in Tarasenko. Had quality center depth in Backes, and Stastny. Good supporting forwards in Steen, Lehtera and Brouwer. Up and coming young guys like Fabbri and Schwartz.

Then on Defence they had Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk, and Bouwmeester. Flames don't really have a Parayko yet.

Same goaltender.
