I think the Flames roster is better now and also gives Sutter more of the tools he wants. We have more experience vs untapped potential and are stronger in the more important positions (defence, center).
In 3 or 4 years the Flames will be burdened with overpriced contracts on post apex players, but until then there is a window to being contenders every season. I think Tre has worked hard to build a competitor without the benefit of elite prospects/draft picks and if the Flames achieve success he should be given due credit.
