Well I think by 2018 we should be a constant playoff team. Free agent signings will be crucial with all the money coming off the books. Development of Bennett and his future is also key to the Flames taking the next step. The Flmes aren't in win now mode and it often takes 5-6 years of rebuilding before a team can even start thinking about winning it all. The Flames trajectory seems to be going in the right place and even tho there have been some bumps the team is still on the right course. Unless it's a player like a Duchene or Landy or Kane that second is not on the table for a veteran who won't be playing on this team.
