(note: if someone gets traded, obviously that changes things)
If some how the Flames luck out and all of Gillies + McDonald + Schneider + potential draft pick turn out to be NHL starting calibre goalies, that's pretty much the opposite of a problem. You can sell off whichever for a lot more than what ever pick you used on them.
