I mean it was a fun season. Gaudreau against the Kings to secure the spot, favourable divisional matchup (wildcards both being central) means the Flames vs Canucks is probably the worst and second worst teams playing each other. And we get Stajan's goal to defeat the Canucks.
But I don't know, maybe instead of Bollig and Raymond that McDavid dude would have been a better long term solution.

Bolling and Raymond was not the difference between making the playoffs and finishing bottom-three.
