[Johnny Rotten]

I haven't started a thread in a long time; usually for good reason (i.e. "Mitch Wahl"...) and this thread may also be the case.

But after reading through about the "who should be taking more heat" threads- absolutely worthwhile to discuss- I'm really starting to wonder if I'm too positive about the Flames future.

I wouldn't say that I'm a glass full type person, but I do, for the most part, think more positively about the Flames' future than not.

I'm wondering what others think specifically about their future, and what people genuinely (realistically) think is needed for the Flames to get to the next level.

For me, time and patience, are two of the greatest needs...Unlike four or five years ago, when things seemed totally dark.
