Currently, the way I see it, the Flames are still small and soft up front. You can stack the back all you want, but you still need the forwards to do most of your scoring.

Bennett is a dud. Trade him now while he still has value near that of his draft position. Jankowski is more likely to be anthing better than a third line centre.
The Flames window is narrow and will last only as long as Gaudreau remains a Flame. Gaudreau is pretty much guaranteed to be gone back east when he hits UFA. Hopefully the Flames trade him in advance of that and get some value for him to help start the next push with the next young core.
