It just goes to show you that the gap isn't that large.
Here is a better example. This is what Dallas is rolling with right now- a team that finished 6th in the west last year and made it to game 7 overtime of the second round.
Gurianov - Seguin - Radulov
Janmark - Hintz - Pavelski
Benn - Faksa - Dowling
Cogliano - Gardner - Caamano

I get what you're saying but comparing the flames to other underwhelming rosters and suggesting his point about the offensive depth isn't valid is proving his point, not yours.
To be compared to an elite squad you need an elite talent makeup and the flames are still missing an ingredient up front that would turn them into a team like the bruins.
Coyle has had some down years but his career high is 56 points, and they've got him on their third line.
I want the flames to have that kind of depth and obviously treliving does too or he wouldn't have been in on stone, Zucker and kadri in the last 6 months.
