There are teams out there (Sens) that show you can turn things around and re-build without getting high picks every year. They drafted impact players mid round, made smart trades and signings - and turned it around without a tank job.

I would hate to see the Flames trade any future pieces for immediate help because they are in the hunt. But I would be OK with them hanging on to Cammalleri if they are in a playoff spot to give the team, that would earned that shot, the right to see what can happen.

This isn't a black and white thing - where it is one or the other.

I frankly think it is moot - this hot start doesn't preclude the fact that in the basis of the lineup this likely won't be a playoff team.
