Sure it's possible but it seems to me the original poster was saying the Flames aren't good enough now. The Flames have a lot of things going for them but the one thing we don't have now are too many top six wingers despite targeting that area with first rounders in the 2013 draft in particular.
Even if you don't think the window is for another 3 to 5 years, you have to address the holes that are in our roster now. I don't think moving Hudler does that. We don't have anyone stepping up into the hole that would be left by him right now. In fact, we need him to step up and fill the hole himself by being the player he was last season. If that happens, the window may open sooner than 3 to 5 years.
