For me personally, it’s the lack of star power. The Oilers have McDavid and Draisaitl. The Canucks have Pettersson and Hughes. The Leafs have their big 4. The Jets have Connor, Hellebuyck and Scheifele. The Sens have Tkachuk and Stutzle. Even the Habs have a guy like Caufield to be excited to go see play. Who do the Flames have that excites the fans?

Obviously having a complete team is how cups are won. But you still need elite skill to win and to draw fans/casuals in to buy tickets. And this team just doesn’t have it
