I'm gonna say 2 years. 3-4 before we're contenders. Baertschi, Gaudreau, Jankowski, Backlund, Brodie, all potential NHL stars. Brossoit/Ramo will be a great duo if they turn out well. Nevermind the picks we're taking this year, be it Mackinnon, Barkov or Drouin. Horak, Reinhart, Ferland, Jones, Aliu, Byron, could all turn out to be a good supporting staff. I'm pretty excited to be a flames fan, to say the least.
