We need a bit more size up front

This is at the expense of Raymond and someone else. Bennett will stay up but he needs someone that can push him down to third line. And I don't mind Backlund but upgrading him somehow to a true second liner makes more sense.

Otherwise if we keep much of the same team I think we are going to find it hard to pull off so many miracles and comebacks. We had a lot go our way this season.

We need a couple guys to push the depth chart down a tad is all im saying. I think D and goaltending will be fine tbh.
Totally agree that what you said we need is true, but I don't think Treliving should give term to UFAs or spend draft picks or depth young guys to get it.

Basically, the flames need to pick up players they can't afford the price for, so don't do it. If we miss the playoffs next year, that sucks. But that's infinitely better than giving up Granlund, a first and a second to get an aging Patrick Sharp for next year (it may cost more, I don't know)
