our biggest holes are:
2 x skilled top 6 RWers
3 x bottom 3 dmen (depending on who the flames think may be ready from the farm)
1 x starting goalie
1 x backup goalie
I have no idea what the plan is at the moment with the team, and these are a lot of CRITICAL holes especially when you consider it includes your top RWer, a 2nd pairing dman, and your starting goalie. Flames likely can't afford to go the UFA route to fill many of these. Leads me to believe that next year isn't going to be much rosier than this year.... playoff hopeful/bubble team at best. I also don't know if any of the solutions to these gaps are in our farm system or not, at least in time for next season.
