I am furious about this season but I am not excited for the summer as I do believe there will be significant change.
Ideally the best way to improve the bottom 6 is slide Backlund and Frolik down to the 3rd line. In order for that to happen Jankowski needs to take a big step forward or the Flames look to acquire a 2nd line centre like RoR.
The Flames also only have 2 left top 6 wingers in Gaudreau and Tkachuk. How will they add 2 top 6 RW? They might dip into free agency on a guy like David Perron. Perhaps they trade Brodie or Hamilton for the top line RW?
They will then probably have to dip into free agency to add some defensive depth. I believe Smith-Rittich will be fine to return with for one more year.
If they make thee moves and get a legit head coach we can get excited about the team again

Loubardias spoke about the Flames looking at RoR this past week. Wonder if a package around Brodie & Jankowski could get the ball rolling.
