I think the current roster would fall short. If a guy like Bennett could find another gear, that would help. But I sort of agree with Kermitology in the regard that until the goaltending proves itself out and something else emerges up front that the Flames won't get to the pinnacle. The Kings with a lot of good pieces were a lower level playoff team for 3 years until they hired Sutter, but also traded for Jeff Carter. Once they got that extra forward, they pushed thru. I think the Flames still need to find that Jeff Carter type add up front. Another guy who can score 30 goals and drive a line.
