Personally I think this team is one player away from being a playoff team, and that player is... Sidney Crosby! I think adding him might actually make as a playoff team (barely). So Feaster should see what it'll take to get him. Maybe our next 30 first round picks? Not like the Flames can draft anyway, so who cares how many picks we give them.

Seriously though, trading for more picks and prospects is great, andI agree that's what they need to do, but I don't trust Feaster to rebuild through the draft anyway. So we're sort of in a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation. I sort of wish both Feaster and King would get canned, and someone like Burke could run hockey operations, but that's probably a pipe dream.

We should face the facts, the Flames won't likely be relevant for another decade if they continue going in the same direction, we all better get used to it.
