For sure but Florida's style a play is also obviously a factor...they play firewagon hockey every night. Like tonight we are bumping this because he got points but they got pumped again.
Also, they have had an easy schedule that will even out. Some people disagree but its easier to score on bad teams. Flames will be the reverse of that with the way their schedule has gone.
The teams we are following closely with ex Flames are Panthers, Habs, BJs...there will be much made about how much more points guys are getting elsewhere but I think its likely the Flames are the best of those teams. Two are obvious I know.
Flames were forced to make this deal...Panthers did it because they thought it would improve their presidents trophy winning squad.
Also, if Tanev and Weegar keep playing like they have been lately they will be up there with the best pairs in the league (something not shown in points)
