3. As for the Flames' potential restructuring, it's not unusual for teams to make changes this late. For example, then-interim GM Jeff Gorton ran the 2006 draft for the Boston Bruins while Peter Chiarelli was trapped in limbo. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman took the job a month before the 2010 draft, but relied heavily on the organization's list for those picks. When Feaster was hired, Calgary was interested in Brendan Shanahan, so this is a legitimate pursuit.

4. The biggest question at this time is "Do Shanahan or Colin Campbell want to move West?" Both have been tied to the East for family reasons. Also, what would this mean for Feaster, who has prepared to run this draft for months, or Craig Conroy, who, other teams believe, is being groomed for a major position in the future? The other issue will be transition. The Flames may be hiring someone who was not with a team, which means they haven't been a part of draft planning or professional scouting meetings. Therefore, it will be essential to have people around them that have been. The Flames cannot afford to make mistakes this summer.
