I find it very annoying that this expansion team can come in and have a better first season than I've seen the Flames have in pretty much 30 years.

They are on pace for 114 points for #### sakes.

They don't have a lot of older players either, had 12 picks at last years draft (including 3 first rounders and 2 second rounders) and they also have 14 picks total in the first three rounds of the next three drafts. (net of +6)
Even if they go only .500 for the rest of the season, they are most likely in the playoffs. One or two games below and they risk missing, but not guaranteed to miss. This is crazy.
