After the 2013 draft before the first rebuild season. The Flame's had: Monahan, Gaudreau, Baertschi, Jankowski up front. Plus Giordano and Brodie on the back end. Veterans like Glencross, Russell, Hudler who could all be traded on expiring contracts in the next two seasons. Plus two other first round picks from that draft in Poirier and Klimchuk.
It's not like Treliving and company were not given anything to work with.
Right now the problem is that the team has very little in terms of draft ammo in the next two years to get better, and a roster that does not look like an upper level team to me. They can change things around, but I still don't think that plus what's in the system advances them past being a wild card type team.
