Would be a great draft to pick up multiple picks in the first two rounds and end up with a good quantity of quality young players. Just the type of springboard this franchise could use to accelerate the rebuilding.

Yeah that's a great point by Eric D - and again underscores why this year may be the perfect year for the Flames to be dragged kicking and screaming into a change in approach.
There are also a lot of teams that I think feel they are close - where adding a piece could put them over the top. Thinking that if the Flames are dealing anyone of note, they probably only want to do so to the east I think you still have
- Boston
- Buffalo
- Philly
- NYR
- Tampa
- NJ
- Pitt
Who all could be driving for a championship, or at least think they are.
