If Edmonton was able to surround McDavid and Draisaitl with a half decent supporting cast they'd easily be a Cup favorite.
The Flames elite stars are not on that level in my opinion and with all the raises needed to even keep the team together, I find it tough to see where they're gonna be able to significantly improve the team. Not saying it can't be done but its gonna take some huge luck or Treliving making some very shrewd moves.

Once again, this is not the point I made.
