Technically your original rebuttal against a poster saying the Avs went far in the playoffs is probably correct, the 2nd round isn't far. This team and core maybe figures it out and proves me wrong, but you cant honestly look at both teams playoff struggles and the games and say its the same thing, unfortunately the criticism about the Flames after elimination is around the core and their inability, for the Avs, its very different in my opinion.

Thing is - their core was questioned by their fans and media.

But anyway, the team either rides this core or rebuilds. There’s no trade or signing that’s going to switch over the core into a winner. And as Tampa and the Avs do prove, even if you draft 1OA it can be 8-10 years before you get any results. Or you can be Buffalo/Edmonton and have nothing to show for it at all.
