If they are, they shouldn't be running the team. Pinning your hopes on an over-ager who had a big scoring year is a recipe for disaster. Gawdin's skating just isn't at the NHL level. Also don't see a shot that will beat NHL goaltenders consistently.

Hayes or Neal would fill a huge need as would Stastny/O'Reilly albeit at various different costs.

Hayes and Neal, yes. We need a winger who can score and compliment what we already have. Stastny and O'Reilly, no. I don't see them being an answer to the problems facing the team. The Flames have good depth down the middle, so adding another center does not address the most pressing need. This would be the ultimate Treliving move though. We were deep on the blueline last off season, and he made a deal for another blueliner, ignoring the gaping hole on the right side. We're deep at center this year, so it only makes sense to deal for another center, and still ignore that hole on the right side. Flames are gonna to Flame?
