Seriously, let it run its course. Nice to see some great action and player development and Gaudreau prove himself in the league, but to be a contender we need some more building and great drafting.
I have this theory that a youthful team is wound up and wheeling at the beginning of the season, they throw teams off guard. Then as the rest of the league gets spun up and the pure skill, talent and experience come to bear that performance becomes more of a function and less of an anomaly. The Flames start this year was a great anomaly and hopefully a sign of things to come.
Personally, I also don't care if it's this season or the next season, or after that. We have very good forward momentum. Couple more great pieces is exactly what we need.
