I think they are.

I think Huberdeau's size while possessing similar ability to Gaudreau makes him a better replacement for the Flames in a playoff situation. Kadri can be a pest and put up points like Tkachuk but plays a much more crucial position. And Weegar was the #2 and for stretches the #1 d-man for the Florida Panthers, which helps solidify the Flames' top 4 and instantly puts their d-core in the top 5 in the NHL.

It will be a drastically different team in the way it is deployed on the ice but I think the pieces in place now make more sense for a Flames team looking to compete than the previous ones.
