Rebuilding is not a linear process where you suck for a bit and then are awesome.

Right now, the Flames have these spots locked in for a while.

Sam Bennett is still a question mark whether he sticks as a Center or Winger, which is why I labelled both the LW/C spot on the third line as open. He'll take one of those two.

The team still has a number of holes to fill. Whether that's through the draft or through their internal depth. You may see guys like Jankowski, Kylington, Andersson, and Gillies take some of the open spots, or you might not.

The main thing is to be patient and see how things sort themselves out. Then when times are more advantageous, make the moves to fix things.
