It was quite transparent, to be quite honest

The thing with Darryl was he was actually honest about it. After he had won it all the first time with the Kings, a reporter asked what's the difference between the Flames and the Kings. Simply put, the Kings had way more talent than a Flames team with Iggy, Regehr, and Kipper. If the Flames were that bad then, you can't think that after the last rebuild that they're all that much better, especially after losing 2 of their best forwards last summer! I think the Flames are where they're supposed to be right now. Not a huge surprise and no major disappointment thus far.
