I don't really worry about comparisons, but it will definitely be a deathblow to our team, I believe. A deathblow in that we will surely go right back to that 8-11th place in the conference level. If we were a franchise that showed a history of throwing in the towel and burning things down for a brighter future once and awhile I'd be less ancy.
That's not the Flames though, they've been dragged into a rebuild kicking and screaming once since the salary cap and league parity came into play. And they absolutely will not do it if they lose Gaudreau,
that's what scares me.
