While they are all important, definitely the trade deadline one. Keep gathering up a bunch of prospects and picks, not doing what is only good for the short-term.
Playoff experience would be an awesome bonus for this year's Flames, but it's not nearly a necessity.
If I had to rank it in order:
1. Ownership and not getting obsessed with short term
2. Improve penalty killing - that could win them quite a few more games
3. Stop giving up the first goal every night - while this is a horrible habit we have, it's a young group that is learning and still manages to overcome this deficit quite often, they have a strong enough identity now that it isn't much of a problem yet. Later on, it will be if it continues.
4. Win a game in Anaheim - every team has a kryptonite. We can beat LA at Staples Center consistently and Edmonton at any point in time. Just like how we suck in Honda Center and whenever we face the Canucks.
