He added scoring and depth up front with Toffoli, who’s been excellent, and Anderson and Corey Perry, all he does is go everywhere and win. It’s all worked out, right? And I thought he did a really good job of bringing in guys with pedigree in terms of Edmundson has won a Cup, Perry has won a Cup, Toffoli has won (the Cup), Staal has won. I think the blend that he’s had in terms of the younger players developing in (Nick) Suzuki and (Jesperi) Kotkaniemi and then (Cole) Caufield coming in now, with the veteran guys, it’s been a good mix. I’m happy for him, he’s a good man.”
Kind of funny/a little infuriating that he can identify what Bergevin needed and went and got yet can't seem to manage this himself. Or tried but got the wrong mix I suppose
Obviously he isn't alone in this article of GMs all basically acknowledging their own failures in a round about way, but still.

Also worth mentioning what Sutter had to say:
'Tremendous confidence and composure of Price running off on teammates. Big D closing gaps and making it hard to get inside. Balanced attack with playoff-proven vets, sprinkle fresh legs and off to the conference finals'.
If I had to bet, it seems like the Flames are more likely to emulate this team structure, opposed to the rebuild many seem to be clamoring for.
