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.

It's kind of what I've been getting at for a while now. Sutter is all about veterans who know the game rather than having players learning on the job. There's so much talk in here about getting younger and trading vets to retool and I don't think that's Darryl Sutter at all. He's here to win every game and play the best players available to him. As we saw this season, he had no problem dropping the youngsters down the depth chart or scratching them completely for the vets. I could see the Flames being a veteran laden team next season.
Good to hear Treliving finally acknowledging Perry's contributions though even if it's too late by now. He's probably kicking himself for not putting a claim on him as it could be the Flames going on to round 3 instead.
