Unlike the armchair GMing that Treliving did in Calgary ("Hey I need a top six RW and here's this big name, over the hill James Neal, perfect fit!!!!!"). When it came to team building, chemistry and finding players that fit, Treliving was a bottom of the barrel GM in this league and screwed this team over big time by creating a steaming pile of misfits.
So yeah "double down" on Panthers not winning with their core if that makes you feel better about the Flames situation. But they are actually really good compared to this mess Treliving left.

The lol was a joke...I was "right" about them like Miller was eventually "right." It was a joke about at my expense not yours. I was wrong about them 4 times before I was "right"
You are way too sensitive about the Panthers guy. I was just showing how easy it is to be "right" about a team with a specific core not winning a championship. He is bragging about calling the Tkachuk/Gaudreau era Flames not winning it all...like that is hard in a 32 team league.
It's highly unlikely any particular team does. Panthers are likely a middle to high middle team for the next few years but it's very unlikely a championship team.
