Their new core is not much older than the Flames. And they did it while remaining competitive.

They have some issues in goal unless Jones gets it back together. And they have a lot of players to sign or replace: Karlsson, Pavelski, Thornton (maybe), Donskoi, Labanc (RFA), Meier (RFA), Nyquist, plus Melker Karlsson, Braun and Dillon in a year.
