Agree fully...Gaudreau matches up more with Gaborik from the 2014 championship team. Kopitar is something the team is missing, but Tkachuk and Lindholm are better than their equivalents.
The Flames will have to do it a different way than the Kings did all those years ago...but the skill is there for the current club. This isn't the 2003-04 Flames where we had Iggy and a bunch of guys that gel'd in front of one of the best goaltenders in the league.
I can't believe how much of a 180 the Sutter hire has done for my outlook for this roster.
