I would argue the season the Flames guys had is just as impressive considering everything than some lottery team winning the Cup.

Take a step back and think of it less about "building a winner".
Don't you want to see the best players in the world play for your team? Since Iggy and Kipper left, has Calgary been able to say that?
From a marketing standpoint, well there's a reason we're the second most popular team in the province. Our marketable stars were Gaudreau and Tkachuk...they walked for a few million.
