Flames needed an identity. Florida did a great job of finding players who were great players not happy, or playing up to potential on other teams. Grabbing a few former first round draft picks from other teams was a shrewd way to build a, "win now" team. Florida had a plan and it is working for them, They also have a way of making some of those players feel more confident, building them up and making them feel like world beaters.
