Your point was to note that the Flames's bottom six is merely average? If that is so, then this is an odd way to communicate it:

Being "average" is a good deal better than having difficulty cracking every other NHL team.

No. Your exaggeration is precisely what I countered in my response to your initial post...

1. The Flames are a deep team from top-to-bottom. This is not a "CP myth."
2. Suggesting that every forward outside of the top five has "zero or negative trade value" is simply not true.
3. The Flames bottom six players are not so bad that they would be scratched by every other NHL team.
These are all massive exaggerations.
