Realistically the Flames would probably have been at Columbus’ level this season if Tanev and Hanifin weren’t here. They basically had the best possible season this group could have and finished with the 9th worst record in the nhl. There is no way this team is going to be even as good as they were this year.

Thankfully they have added a bunch of good picks. They just need to keep the rotation going. Honestly I would not keep any close to expiring vet if they can yield anything. Whether those trades happen at the draft or next deadline. Always be trading, signing, flipping.
