Maybe not but I'm sure their management is planning for it.
I actually really like their defense and goaltending. The contracts they have on defense combined with their age is lining up for long term success.
They have 5 aging forwards that make a combined $28 mil.
Lee
Bailey
Pageau
Nelson
Palmieri
They need to replace the cap they spend on these guys on younger better players but with Barzal signed for 9 more years they have time to build still.
NYI did lose to Tampa in the conference finals 2 years in a row. You can make a case they are outperforming the Flames over the last 5 years
