You're welcome to your opinion of course though.
Hard not to count the number of coaches they've been through though. Playing less than the sum of your parts for what seems like a new coach each year is coaching killing to me.

When I look at the roster, overall I would personally definitely rather have the following rosters in the league (just based on paper, not based on standings)
Toronto
Winnipeg
Tampa
Washington
Vegas
Carolina
Colorado
Islanders
Florida
Boston
St Louis
Philly
Dallas
I would have the Flames roster below those 13 rosters
I could make the argument that the following are better and personally do think they are better
Edmonton
Montreal
Vancouver
Pittsburgh
Columbus
Rangers
Arizona
For me I would have them as the 21st best roster in the league. I would personally have an impossible time putting this roster in the top third of the league and a hard time even putting it in the top half of the league. I think the coaching turnover in part is because of extraneous factors (Peters racism) but more because Treliving thinks he has built a top tier roster when he has built an average at best, likely below average roster.
