I'm ok giving up a few futures for the legit opportunity to have this team go from the walking stage to the running stage over the next 4 seasons. Plus, 4 years from now, the only member s of the Flames current core who would be 30 or older are Gio, Backlund and Brodie (who would be just turning 30), so it wouldn't be the last of our opportunity to compete. We'd STILL have a strong core at that point to retool with.
Although, I have to reiterate, I'd be scared ####less of the Russian factor, and the Olympics and all that.

What makes you thhik Ovechkin gets it done with Monahan/Backlund down the middle when he couldn't get to the third round with Kuznetsov and Backstrom?
Our best hope still lies in a 60 point Sam Bennett at center, not any winger even Ovechkin. At this point Bennett has as little probability of becoming that as Ovechkin does of getting over the hump.
