In my opinion let’s let the dust settle before we talk about which team is better and where the Flames stand.

I would say it's a common rhetoric for many Flames fans to think the team is improved in the offseason every year while slighting other teams that were or are simply better.
I personally, don't give a damn about the Oilers, but I'm certainly not going to start saying this team is better than anyone that was in the division last year (that also performed better) based on the hot pile of garbage they were most of the year and really for most of the last 2 seasons.
