The main difference is there are no current ELITE players on the team.

Getting into the Playoffs, and doing damage in the Playoffs are two distinctly separate things.

Flames currently have 1 projected True Star in Bader's model (Parekh, because goalies are not factored into the numbers shown here). Weegar is right on the cusp of qualifying in Bader's model, while Kadri and Huberdeau both fit the mold career-wise, but we know Kadri's age and we know Calgary Huberdeau.
The Flames have a long way to go.
