I'm happy with our goaltending now...

A city where players want to play? Haha funny... It sucks that all the UFAs are lining up to go to Calgary... It makes it incredibly difficult for the rest of the league. Damn Calgary

The Oilers will finish ahead of the Flames this season.

Our top 6 >>>>>>> Yours

Calgary will have the league leader in points, AKA Johnny Hockey Gaudreau, in their top 6. Wrong again, laughs

Hey guys, could we trade Yakupov for Johnny Hockey? Or is Yakupov not enough?

Well the year before that, we were better than you, and we'll be better than you again this season.

And you do realize that there's more to a team than the top 6, right? Your defense was better than ours. Our goaltending only become decent at the end of the year.
- laughs2907

poop, really, there is more to a team than a top 6th??? Perhaps you should inform your team coaches and fans of fhat. Including yourself

And, uh, aside from the anomaly that was 2seasons ago, we've been better for....well...a long time. Are your freakin 1sts overall ever going fo pay off?

Edmonton has a better 1C.
Calgary has a better 2C.
Calgary and Edmonton have essentially equal 3Cs.
Edmonton has a better 4C.
Edmonton is better at left and right wing.

Calgary has a far better #1 d.
Calgary and Edmonton have equal #2 d.
Calgary and Edmonton have equal 2nd and 3rd pairings.

Calgary and Edmonton have equal goaltending. If you want to break it down, Calgary has the more proven (but more injury prone/declining) starter, whereas Edmonton has the better backup, albeit both unproven and injury prone.

Calgary has better coaching.

The Real or Jabroni?

Hall and RNH will continue to be absolutely useless. After 111 NHL games, I think it's pretty clear that Yakupov is a bust -- You should know that.

Yakupov plus our 2015 1st (which won't be worth as much as Calgary's 2015 1st -- because they will suck more than we will this upcoming season) for Jankowski.

Seriously, if you are going to make a trade proposal make it realistic. Add in Nurse and we might start talking.

Obviously as a whole, Edmonton's forwards are better, nobody is really going to argue that. The Flames are better up the middle as a whole IMO, but Edmonton's wingers are much better. That being said, I like how the Flames have 2 veteran guys on the wings in Hudler and Glencross, to help insulate the youth.

The Flames D as a whole is better than Edmonton's. By about the same margin as Edmonton's FWD's are better than Calgary's. Good mix of vet's, leaders, and experienced but young players with room to grow.

As far as goaltending is concerned I think it's up for debate. I think the Flames have a good mix with Hiller and Ramo. Hiller will provide stability while we can continue to figure out what Ramo's ceiling is. He really made strides in the second half last year, I think he has the talent to be a #1 goalie. Scrivens still has something to proves as does Fasth. I would give the Flames the edge because they have the more proven entity in Hiller.

The X-factor is the coaching as you said. And with this brings the work ethic and team mentality of the Flames. I think they are a lot closer as a group and it shows in their play. You can laugh all you want about this, but really, this attitude can make up for a lot in missing talent.

I think it's gonna be real close between these 2 teams. If I was going to put a wager on it I would say the Oilers will finish with about 4-8 more points than Calgary.
