Then after the lockout they had become getting more and more top-heavy and slow.

Lombardi was incredibly fast that is hardly a fair comparison...Stajan had a far better NHL career. Sure Lombardi in his absolute prime is better than Stajan now. Yelle had 4 goals in 03-04 I think you are remember things with rose colored glasses.
Calgary had the best goalie and best forward in the world at that time...they drug a bunch of scrubs within an inch (or less) of the cup.
That being said Calgary could use some speed in the bottom six for sure
