There are a lot of theories about what the formula is for a successful team. If you read Doug MacLean's recent book "Draft Day", I think his theory is that the teams that win Cups have 10 or 11 homegrown players.
If the Flames could continue their strong youth movement, they would definitely meet this criteria.
