An urgent change is one on which the season's fortunes hinge, and I don't think that is what we are dealing with. I think the target is home ice in the playoffs, and that is where the Flames will finish under the status quo. SJ and VGK are both at least six points away from overtaking the Flames; SJ's starting goaltender has been just as bad as Calgary's backup, and VGK will likely be forced to play theirs in at least 70-games.
I see anything beyond winning the Division as a nice bonus, and even then the Flames seem well positioned to finish ahead of Winnipeg under current conditions.
So, not urgent.
