I just don't think we can expect major lineup changes since:
1) Flames are basically a cap team with limited space to sign UFA's or take on salary in trades
2) Most of our tradable assets are core guys that won't be traded. A lot of the rest of the players on this team have very low trade value right now, other than Backlund and Colborne
3) There doesn't appear to be an immediate impact player on the horizon in Stockton
I think we need one more year of patience when hopefully at least 1) and 3) change.

There's a few defensemen in the system that look promising but they are aways off. Offensively things are pretty bleak in regards to top 6 skill though which is why they really need to nail the 6th pick and get a skilled forward.
