I disagree. The Caps got worse in the summer the Flames got better. Caps are not a top 5 team anymore both teams are striving to be top 10.
The Flames trading their unprotected 1st rounder and 2 2nd rounders for a 27 year old Dman is a clear message they want to win. Trading a prospect and likely another 2nd for a 35 year old goalie, while also signing a 45 year old legend is a clear message they want to win right now. The expectation the fans were sold this summer is expect this team to be a contender.
A 6-2 Caps win would take the Flames to 5-7 and 1-5 at the Dome. The panic button could easily be pressed at that point.
