I'm looking at the Flames organizational depth chart and seeing no one that's more than a hope & prayer of being a true top 6 scoring right winger next season, which is one where most of us expected the Flames to be rounding into more than a bubble team. . . .
And I just watched the Flames peddle off a legitimate top 6 scoring winger for a couple of picks without having ever reached out to him to see if he could be brought back on a deal to bridge the team to whatever comes next.
That's why I'm underwhelmed. I don't see the plan.

Based on the interview with Conroy it sounds like they did attempt to re-sign him at some point.
We lack RWers its true. However the organization possesses the greatest amount of young assets and picks that its had in the last two decades. We certainly have the trade chips to trade for wingers. And they are the least valuable position in hockey arguably and thus the easiest to acquire.
And its looking like we may end up with a top 5 pick this year. If we do there are several wingers available who look like they could be NHL ready and possess amazing combination of size and skill (I'm talking bout Laine, Puljujarvi and Tkachuk.)
Goaltending is the most important position, I'm far more worried about that then getting some wingers.
