Have the Flames dropped in talent that much though? Gaudreau and Huberdeau are similar talents over their respective careers - Huberdeau is having an off year but they are both pass-heavy PPG guys who had a monster season and got paid for it. Tkachuk out, Kadri in is a drop off but not huge, and Kadri plays centre. They added another puck moving Dman and dropped a hulking one.
The rest is pretty darn identical.
