The flames have a 90 point player on an elc playing with two guys on a ~40 point pace.

This is a big problem IMO. One that I think BT felt that Neal or Lindholm would fix, but Lindholm has the 1st line chemestry no one wants to fiddle with (even if it means better secondary scoring when/if 13 & 23 go cold), and Neal has just stunk.
The Flames are hitting so many peaks - most XX pt. players at XX game in the NHL, better than average special teams, etc.
This is the time. Get a stud scoring/passing winger. Get that backup. Get that 3/4 D-man. Use all your picks if you have to.
Remember, going "all in" once meant trading away a future HoF 60 goal winger for a #3/4 d-man and a backup. No Rob Ramage would have meant A LOT of Ric Nattress. Hello Stanley Cup.
