the Flames are a .500 team the last 7 years and probably not much different in the years prior...
at the end of the day, the only metric of success is your record

The Flames have been good at drafting outside the first round but in the first round they haven’t been as good. Especially late first round picks
I’d say poor asset management has been a big reason the flames haven’t turned into a contender. Brouwer buyout to sign neal and the hamonic trade are 2 big reasons combined with dumping picks for rental players has left the flames very short on picks over the years.
