I guess I just wish the Flames ownership & management would allow for this. Draft and/or keep your best players until they retire.
The Flames have sucked for a long time. The two names getting thrown around as bigger than the team in Gaudreau and Iginla are the main reasons Calgary has seen any playoff success in the past ~30 years.
Sure, the theory that trading your best player when his value is high might pan out, but cup champions don't really ever do that.

Yeah but what do cup champions have to do with the late 00's early 10's Flames? We were brutal and our window was closed so hard that the glass shattered.
It was over.
