Not worried about Tampa but it does suck that the flames will likely be building up against the next phase of powerhouse teams in the west when coming out of their rebuild. If the flames end up entering their competitive window in say 4 years… Anaheim, Chicago and San Jose could be the gauntlet of teams in the western conference that any team has to beat. I think Colorado and Dallas will still be good teams by then as well. Vegas will probably be pretty middling by then. Edmonton will be in their new decade of darkness by then.
