We need a lot more pieces to go on a run but that core is incredible, not sure I would trade for many other teams top 4 core players going forward.
The Flames Drive-chain guys were in place this year(and most had career years) and were 8 points better than the the Ripped down Leafs.

Gio at age 33 starts his 6 year 6.75 deal .. The Cap space is gone in retaining this group Any new pieces have to be bargain basement cheap.

Reimer (or whoever the Flames get instead of Ramo) had better be the solution to all the Flames problems.... rather than a crappy system that pads scoring stats and doesn't win hockey games.
