The huge glaring question mark is goaltending. Stopgap solutions at the NHL level, question marks in the system, and very little assets remaining to use as trade chips.

Acquiring (young, core) NHL talent is
not sacrificing depth.
The goal is to build the best NHL team possible, not to have the most prospects. And the fact of the matter is that the Flames have amassed a lot of good young talent. That is the opposite of sacrificing depth.
Again, how many teams do you think have more total organizational talent, 25 and under, than the Flames?
