Yeah they had a tough round two, so did a lot of teams
Devils have a couple decent players, they also had 63 points...worse than any Flames team ever, EVER. They won't be a playoff team for another 3 or 4 years at least, Gaudreau's prime.

But in this scenario we’re comparing the Flames without Gaudreau to the other teams with Gaudreau. And Jersey’s young players and prospects will improve sooner than 4 years from now.
We live in an age of league parity. Over a span of 7 seasons most teams don’t have wildly different records.
