The roster today is probably as good as that roster will ever look like.

As much as I hope they fail, I'm not as pessimistic as most Flames fans on their salary cap situation. There's still room for opportunity when they need to re-up the big guys and I think it will come in the form of Nugent-Hopkins or Eberle to a non-cap team for a pick and maybe a smaller salary coming back.
I don't think they're screwed, but I do think that Lucic contract was insane, although I understand the logic behind it. Right breed, wrong horse.
