Yes, it sucks that the Flames are losing, but the team isn't far off of being a contender. 1-2 pieces more and they're set. Getting someone like Laine would be a great thing for the chances that the Flames could win a cup in the next couple seasons.

Agree that a stud draft pick would be great for this team. But I'm not convinced the team is 1 or 2 pieces away from contending for a championship. If so, we should be all in on Stamkos.
I do get your optimism and I sometimes feel that way, but I worry about our complementary pieces. We badly need some youngsters to step up and outplay the vets.
