Minimal would be my guess. I'd also guess that goaltending is going to be one of the areas addressed because I think being a great guy in the room is pretty quickly negated by being crap between the pipes.

I would vote against no changes. Flames can't afford to have two #1s. No team can. The list of failed deadline goalie acquisitions is really long as compared to the successes. In my opinion, it mostly has to do with unfamiliarity of team defence and how they protect shooting lanes. And really, how many teams are going to trade you a legit #1 now or ever?
