Kind of but not really.

Generally since the 2006 lockout the Flames have been a cap team that had a pick defect and we're still in the same position of battling for a playoff spot in the 7-10 range.

The big difference this time is they are second lowest salary cap in the league, have $17M in cap space, have moved out assets for picks and actually have a surplus of picks for the first time in a while.

It might be a similar position in the standings but in no way is the same situation as they've been in historically.
