I'd sooner take Chicago's last 7 years + their new foundation (Levshunov, Boisvert, Vanacker, Bedard, Moore, Korchinski, Nazar, Rinzel -> all drafted in the last 3 years) than Calgary's last 7 years + our relative lack of foundation today.

If we were to look at the next 5 years, I take Chicago's depth chart 100% of the time.
Why? Flames won the play in round and were neck and neck with the stanley cup finalists in round one
