The 8-game losing streak has certainly recalibrated expectations. Chances are the Flames will be in the mix for a playoff spot on March 2, however I hope and expect that they will stay the course. I wouldn't be surprised if they pick up another depth defenseman (maybe ship out a bubble prospect or a draft pick) but I don't expect them to sell any significant assets. We will need the pending UFAs if we do make the playoffs, especially with the competition in the Western Conference.
