Lindholm is no Kuznetsov in his prime. Maybe he's a Backstrom. I think we're squinting pretty hard to see these teams as comparable.

No, no one is squinting.
The point is that ANY team, after playoff success, looks elite. WAS was viewed as a flawed team that couldn't get it done in the playoffs, until they did. If the Flames make a run to the finals, people will look at them differently too.
