It's a chatty guy that is pointing out a team that drafted well and surrounded an older core with a younger one.

The point is its a tough needle to thread, because of the luck involved. They didn't simply just surround an aging core with a younger one -- the younger one had to be of a high caliber. So, yes, it sounds like the Flames want to replicate that luck. Otherwise it won't work, will it?
