A #3 D would be nice but I like our second pairing with Russell and Wideman right now.

The Flames are serious about building a future cup contender. The "all-in" days are over. If the team is still in the playoff mix near the deadline then you may want to acquire a player to help in the stretch drive but it's way too early to be serious about anything outside of following the course that was mapped out in September. It seems a lot of fans simply don't understand what a proper rebuild entails as you don't drop everything the minute you have a little success and start chasing the moon as that will turn you into Winnipeg/Atlanta or Florida where you are continually going nowhere.
