The Flames have rebuilt through the draft. At some point you have to pivot and start supplementing a young core by acquiring the types of key players that the core lacks. Treliving did this and acquired a good defensive dman of which we were lacking and had none coming up. He will likely continue to do this by signing or acquiring a top 6 forward this summer. At that point IMO we won’t have any major holes.

The Flames rebuilt through the draft. They have traded some picks to supplement the core. They will draft again in the future to keep the pipeline strong (which it is at the moment even though some picks were traded). I don’t see any issue. Unless one mistenly assumes we’re still rebuilding. Or mistakenly thinks we’re nowhere near contending. At least IMO of course.
