The Calgary Flames advanced to the Stanley Cup final in 2004 heading into the lockout, and were able to retain most of that roster after the salary cap was introduced. Sadly they were never able to recapture that magic, posting 4 consecutive 1st round losses before Jay Feaster took control from Darryl Sutter in 2010. Darryl would return to coaching for the LA Kings after his termination in Calgary, winning multiple Stanley Cups. Looking at their rankings report card below, this list ranked high league-wide in terms of total money, years allotted, even trophy nominations, but dead last in Stanley Cups with exactly zero. Nobody signed in Calgary, got traded, and won a championship under the deal signed with the Flames.
