They did move out some high-profile guys, but they also added to what they add with guys like Oshie, Niskanen, Orpik, etc.
It doesn't always work, but of course it can.

Is this an example of why the Flames core might not be doomed?
Because if it is, our core doesn't have a winger anywhere near as good as Ovy, it doesn't have a center anywhere near as good as Backstrom and the Flames core also doesn't have a Vezina caliber goalie like the Caps did with Holtby and while we do have a Norris caliber Dman like the Caps do, our guy is 37 years old now.
