This series is exposing a lot of the weaknesses of this Flames roster. I don't want to sound doom and gloom, because I think Calgary has a puncher's chance to get to the conference final and beyond, but when you see that monster that is the Ducks team clogging up every passing lane and every inch along the boards, it is impressive and humbling.
Big high coming off the Vancouver win, but the Ducks are a real contender, not a pretender and it is showing.

I agree but that doesn't change what I said?
We need some help on D and some help on the offense. Offensively we only need maybe one bonafide top 6 winger to help give us two real scoring lines that are always a threat. On D we need significantly more help but if we can get a top 4 guy we would have a pretty decent looking defense while some of the guys on the farm mature and hopefully one or two of them can make the jump.
Not everyone we bring in is going to be a rookie that lights it up for us. We will need some help from players in their late 20's who can still be a part of this team for a long time. Those are the types of players we should be looking for.
I don't see what your strategy is? Hope we suck next year so we can pick a d-man early?
Realistically, there's a good chance that this core will keep us from picking in the top 10 for the foreseeable future.
