I don't know about that. He had a roster full of players past their prime. Joey MacDonald was statistically our best goalies that season and Lee Stempniak was tied for first in team scoring. When your team is relying on Joey MacDonald and Stempniak to be your key players, that isn't really a great team.
If you're just looking at names (Iginla - traded after ~30 games, Kiprusoff, Tanguay, Cammaleri, Bouwmeester - traded after ~30 games), it looks like a good roster. But when you look at where those players were in their careers at the time, it's not that great.
