One thing that was obvious to me was that only 4 players in the top 30 did not make the playoffs last year: McDavid, Karlsson, Tavares, and Seguin. Hard to rank Gaudreau ahead of any of those players IMO. 8 out of the next 20 on the list didn't make the playoffs last year, so it's clear that the higher ranks are reserved for players that can get you to the playoffs except for some clearly elite players.
If you want to see Flames players higher on this list, then they need to make the playoffs, and preferably make some noise in the playoffs.

Making the playoffs is a team achievement. Good players are on bad teams all the time.
