The Flames need at least one more season like this one to kickstart the upward trend. Trade Cammalleri for hopefully a 1st round pick at next season's deadline and any other veteran players that may be attractive to playoff teams. I kind of hope that Iginla pays off for the Penguins if only to keep the rental market looking attractive to cup contenders.
The talent level in the organization is still amongst the bottom feeders in the league and one draft isn't going to be able to turn things around but another year of multiple 1st round picks will do a lot towards building a solid foundation of young talented players. Lets just hope that for once the Flames aren't the Flames and make all these picks count unlike the miserable drafts in the young guns years and the Sutter years.
