but that 91-92 season was a debacle

Well, after MacInnis and Suter, two of the top 4 defenseman in the league, Musil,was the #3 basically. Huge drop off.
Gilmour was a distraction the first 3 months of the next year, which really set them back, Risebrough was not the answer (those this game they showed Crisp watching, he must have stayed as an advisor?) as coach. Fleury was still running hot and cold...so maybe not a huge surprise thst all of those factors combined, then the massive trade, meant it was a reset year, and given how they got back into things in 94 and 95...
Besides the obvious Leeman and Gilmour principles, Flames didn’t do bad in shipping some of those guys out.
