Since the 2012 draft they've won a combined 5 playoff games.

The Blues have won the cup and been to the 3rd round
The Bruins have lost in the final twice
The Caps have won the cup and missed the playoffs 1 time

The Hurricanes have been in a similar situation as the Flames and have drafted better and their ownership is an unmitigated disaster.

It's really great that the Flames sold hard for a couple of years and drafted the bulk of their graduating class in a couple of years. It's not great that they have since sold most of their picks just to get their heads above water.
