This was actually BTs and the Flames problem - always looking at the “if everything goes right “ angle
Flames never built a proper team to compete year in year out at an elite level . And it’s because they never had home grown #1 D and Centers
Please learn your lesson !

Yeah, when you draft a future Norris winner in the third round but he refuses to sign with you that's some bad luck.
When you draft a consensus future #1C 4th overall and he doesn't even become a legit 2nd line C in his time with you, that's some bad luck.
When your current #1C can't stay healthy right when your team is reaching contender status that is also some bad luck.
The Flames still managed a 114 point season despite all these things happening. Fox would have been in Norris contention while still on an ELC during the 114 point season.
