Never mind the fact that the Flames core is no where near as good as the Hawks or Pens core.

Laughable that you are stating the Oilers turned it around by bringing in Maroon, Kassian, Lucic, and Nurse. It has nothing to do with the 20 year old Art Ross and Hart trophy winner not the goalie that played 70+ games putting up great numbers. It also couldn't be the fact they added 3 Dmen to their top 4 with Klefbom returning from injury, signing Russell and trading for Larson.
It was the goons that turned it around
